Australia Lime Market Analysis

The Australia Lime Market size is estimated at USD 340.96 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 412.64 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.89% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • Lime production in Australia constitutes about 2% of the country's total citrus production as of 2023, with the Tahitian lime variety comprising 94% of the lime production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the cultivation area for lemons and limes has increased from 1,650 hectares in 2019 to 1,685 hectares in 2022. This expansion is primarily attributed to increasing domestic consumption and export opportunities for limes.
  • The native finger lime is Australia's most recognized lime variety. Although finger limes account for only 0.23% of total lime production as of 2024, according to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), they are gaining popularity due to growing consumer interest in unique lime varieties for culinary applications. This variety is cultivated mainly along the eastern coastline of New South Wales and Queensland. These small plantations, typically consisting of fewer than 300 trees, are experiencing increasing demand. This trend is projected to persist throughout the forecast period.
  • The Australian government is supporting lime production through various initiatives to leverage export potential. For instance, the Australian Native Finger Lime RD&E Plan (2023-2028) aims to strengthen the native finger lime industry through efforts in variety development, production methods, product innovation, market expansion, and capacity building.
  • The consistent increase in lime cultivation areas, rising demand for unique lime varieties such as finger lime, and government-supported initiatives are projected to drive the Australian lime market during the forecast period.
