Market Overview:

Fruits are seen as an essential source of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, which are essential for the effective functioning of the body, which means that demand for fresh fruits is expected to remain strong, despite already seeing a high level of maturity.

In 2024, the fresh fruit market size of France was estimated at around USD 14.23 billion. The market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4.11% during 2025-30. With the growth in per capita consumption and growing health awareness, the market size is forecast to exceed USD 18.92 billion in 2030. In terms of quantity, the market size is forecast to exceed 3.7 million tons by 2030.

In 2025, France is one of the leading producers of apples, apricots, melons, etc., in Europe. Moreover, the country exports more than 800,000 tons of fresh fruit per annum. During 2019-23, the country witnessed unpredictable weather conditions such as above-average temperatures and droughts in some areas. As a result, domestic production nosedived substantially, driving up the average prices of fruits in the country. And, the fresh fruit demand registered a negative trend during 2022-23.

However, the production revived in 2024, which had a direct impact on consumer demand. The local production of fruits improved owing to favorable climatic conditions compared to the previous year. Therefore, imports at competitive prices and robust local production resulted in an oversupplied fresh fruit market. Consequently, the drop in prices resulted in increased consumer consumption.

In addition, there is a demand for fresh fruits from the food processing industry. The per capita consumption of processed fruit products such as juices, purees, etc., has been surging in the country. The trend is driven by health-conscious consumers with a greater proximity towards ready-to-eat products. So, the growing food processing industry in the country is set to stimulate the demand for fresh fruits in the coming years.

Market Trend: Greater Consumer Traction Towards Organic Produce

Consumers in France are gradually inclining towards organic fruits owing to growing health awareness. Moreover, locally produced organic fruits are finding greater traction among consumers, organically processed products, and wine manufacturers in 2025.

The local fruit suppliers have been differentiating their products by labeling “Made in France” on the packages to gain greater customer traction. Despite the high prices of organic fruits and inflationary pressure during 2020-24, organic fruits registered an uptick in demand.

As the macroeconomic factors ease inflation, the prices of organic fruits are anticipated to register a decline in the coming years. Therefore, organic fruit’s sales are forecast to soar as consumers see stronger spending power again.

Market Opportunities: Blueberries Gradually Offering Significant Market Growth Potential

In 2025, France is the third most populated country in Europe. The country is gradually emerging as a hotspot for blueberries. In 2024, the per capita consumption of blueberries in France was one of the lowest among the major countries in Europe, such as Germany, the UK, and Spain. However, the demand for blueberries is gaining momentum due to growing awareness about their health benefits.

Blueberries are considered a good source of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and polyphenols. Based on the properties of these constituents, blueberries improve the body’s immunity and heart health. French individuals have a strong attraction towards locally produced fruits, and blueberries had comparatively lower production in France.

Eventually, the imports from Spain, Morocco, and Portugal have been soaring. Spain’s exports of blueberries to France have consistently hovered above 10,000 tons per annum over the past couple of years. Moreover, the companies are developing new packaging to boost sales of these products.
