Dates Market – Global Ajwa Dates, Barhi Dates, Deglet Noor

Dublin, August 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The report “Global Dates Market by Variety (Ajwa Dates, Barhi Dates, Deglet Noor Dates), Product Type (Dried, Fresh), Source, Type, Distribution Channel, End Use – Forecast 2024-2030” has been added to The Offer.

The dates market grew from USD 19.98 billion in 2023 to USD 20.84 billion in 2024. It is expected to continue growing at a compound annual growth rate of 4.43% to reach USD 27.07 billion by 2030.

The dates market is benefiting from the expansion of distribution channels and increasing globalization, making dates more accessible to consumers worldwide. The rise of e-commerce platforms and online grocery stores has further facilitated the distribution of dates across various markets and driven growth in both developed and emerging markets.

In addition, the growing trend towards plant-based diets and natural, minimally processed foods has increased the demand for dates as a healthy and sustainable snack option. The vulnerability of date palms to pests, diseases and adverse weather conditions, as well as the relatively high cost of production, especially in dry climate regions where date palms are widely grown, are restraining the market growth.

Expanding research and development efforts to improve date palm cultivation techniques, increase crop yields, and develop new date varieties will create new growth opportunities in the market. In addition, developing innovative date-based products, such as date-based snacks, desserts, and beverages, could diversify the market and appeal to new consumer segments, further expanding the scope of the date market.
