#4 In EuropeIn recent years, Europe's fruit and vegetable processing industry has been challenged by sticky inflation, shifting consumer behaviour and emerging tech innovations. Swelling demand for organic produce, stemming from a hike in health-conscious consumers, has pushed processors towards more sustainable sourcing and processing methods. The change bolstered profit as processors passed higher organic costs down to consumers. Still, many consumers in countries like France and Germany have been forced to cut back on these high-margin items, switching to cheaper, locally sourced fresh food. Over the five years through 2024, revenue is projected to slump at a compound annual rate of 3.6%, reaching an estimated €113 billion in 2024. In 2024 alone, revenue is anticipated to fall by 2.7% as inflation will continue to stifle demand.
