  • Pears offer numerous health benefits, containing phytonutrients such as anti-inflammatory flavonoids, anticancer polyphenols, and anti-aging compounds. They are rich sources of vitamins C and K, as well as boron. These nutritional attributes contribute to reducing inflammation, a common factor in many diseases. The increasing health consciousness among consumers and growing demand for organic fruits are key drivers of the fresh pears market growth, particularly in the United States.
  • China, Argentina, the United States, Italy, and South Africa are significant contributors to the global pear supply. China dominates the market, accounting for over 70% of global pear production, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Favorable climate, domestic consumption, and advanced agricultural practices support China's market leadership. Argentina is also a major exporter, particularly to European and North American markets, which represented nearly 50% of its export value in 2023, as reported by the ITC Trade Map. The Rio Negro and Neuquén regions are Argentina's primary pear production areas, benefiting from fertile soil and government support for export-oriented agriculture.
  • The United States, especially the Pacific Northwest states of Washington and Oregon, is a significant pear producer, with Bartlett and D'Anjou as the primary varieties. While domestic consumption remains stable, growth is observed in processed pear products.
  • South Africa has emerged as a key exporter, shipping substantial volumes to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Its pear production benefits from counter-seasonal supply advantages, allowing fresh exports when Northern Hemisphere producers are off-season. Additionally, global consumption trends indicate a rising preference for fresh fruits as part of healthier diets. Pears are a popular choice due to their flavor, nutritional content, and versatility, which is projected to drive demand for fresh pears during the forecast period.

China Dominated the Market with High Production

China maintains its position as the world's largest producer and exporter of pears. Recent market trends show a slight increase in fresh pear prices, approximately 10%, driven by factors such as rising temperatures leading to a peak sales period, increased domestic demand due to the Qingming Festival, and higher overseas demand from Muslim countries for Eid al-Fitr. Merchants have successfully boosted sales through both online and offline channels. The rapid growth of fresh food e-commerce has enabled consumers to easily purchase a variety of Chinese fresh pears through digital platforms.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the country's fresh pear production reached 19.85 million metric tons in 2023. The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) anticipates an increase in China's pear exports compared to the previous year's frost-damaged crop. Dangshan county in east China's Anhui Province is the major region in the country for pears which is emerging as the "Pear Capital of the World". According to recent data, at the end of 2022, the pear cultivation area in Dangshan spanned over 26,666 hectares where more than 60% of the dedicated to the cultivation of suli pears, or crisp pears.

China primarily cultivates crisp Asian pear varieties, including snow pears, crown pears, and nanguo pears. In 2023, growing conditions remained relatively normal in most major pear-producing regions, except for Shandong province experienced some high temperatures and dry periods during summer. The Qiuyue (Autumn Moon) variety has seen rapid expansion in Shandong, Henan, Anhui, and Hebei provinces. Many farmers in Laiyang, Shandong, have replaced local varieties with Qiuyue pears, due to their higher quality. Therefore, the demand for pears from international markets, availability of wide varieties and favorable domestic conditions for pears production are anticipated to drive the production in the coming years.
