The frozen fruits market size is projected to reach US$ 47.74 billion by 2031 from US$ 35.15 billion in 2024. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.5% during 2025-2031.
The rising emphasis on health and wellness is influencing consumer purchasing behavior. Concurrently, the persistent demand for convenience prompts individuals to seek nutritious products that cater to fast-paced lifestyles without compromising quality or nutritional integrity. Health organizations and government bodies have validated the nutritional value of frozen produce. The American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI) highlights that advanced freezing technology locks in nutrients at peak freshness, with studies from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirming that the vitamin content in frozen fruits is often comparable to, and sometimes higher than, their fresh counterparts that have been shipped and stored.
This scientific backing has been crucial in shifting consumer perception. AFFI research indicates that over 80% of US consumers acknowledge that frozen fruits are a healthy and convenient option. Beyond nutrition, convenience is paramount, as is reducing preparation time and minimizing food waste. In the European Union (EU), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data underscores that efficient frozen food supply chains reduce food spoilage, adding an economic and sustainability angle to the convenience proposition. The growing pursuit of wellness and the practical need for time-saving solutions have positioned frozen fruits as a staple in retail and food service sectors globally. From smoothie bars in the US to breakfast menus across Europe, these products are increasingly integrated into everyday offerings. This synergy ensures the sector's robust expansion beyond a fleeting trend.
In the retail sector, the proliferation of large-format supermarkets and hypermarkets, coupled with the rapid growth of e-commerce, has increased product visibility and consumer convenience. According to the American Frozen Food Institute, over 94% of American households purchase frozen fruits and vegetables, underscoring the channel's significant market penetration. In Europe, the strength of organized retail has led to frozen fruit being a staple, with countries such as Germany and the UK demonstrating household penetration rates exceeding 85%. Private-label offerings further bolstered this retail expansion, providing cost-effective options and driving sales volume. Quick-service restaurants and high-end cafes are increasingly incorporating frozen fruits into their menus for consistency, year-round availability, and operational efficiency in the food service industry. The National Restaurant Association in the US has consistently reported that fruit inclusions are a top menu trend, with over 76% of consumers expressing a desire for more fruit options on their menus. This demand translates into bulk procurement of frozen fruits for smoothies, desserts, bakery fillings, and breakfast items. The USDA reports that US imports of frozen strawberries, a key food service ingredient, have a value exceeding US$ 300 million annually. The synergy between these expanding channels ensures a steady flow of B2B and B2C revenue, solidifying the market's robust growth trajectory.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that approximately 14% of all food produced globally is lost between harvest and retail, resulting in an annual economic loss of over $ 400 billion USD. Frozen fruits combat this challenge by extending shelf life from days to over a year, curtailing spoilage at the distribution, retail, and consumer levels.
For retailers and food service operators, this translates into economic savings through reduced shrinkage and more efficient inventory management. Further, the sustainability argument is compelling for brand positioning. Industry associations, such as the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), actively promote lifecycle assessments showing that frozen foods can have a lower overall environmental footprint than their fresh equivalents when accounting for the energy used for transportation, refrigeration of fresh produce, and, crucially, the avoided emissions from wasted food. A study cited by the European Frozen Food Association (EFFA) found that efficient freezing operations can reduce food waste by up to 45% as compared to fresh supply chains. This enhanced sustainability profile allows brands to align with the values of a growing cohort of consumers who make purchasing decisions based on environmental impact, making frozen fruits a practical and ethical choice.
