Cabbages & Other Brassicas Market Analysis
The Cabbages and Other Brassicas Market size is estimated at USD 40.59 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 47.08 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.01% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
- There are three major types of cabbage, Brassica oleracea, green, red, and savoy. It belongs to the same plant family as many other vegetables, including Chinese cabbage and broccoli. The annual per capita consumption of fresh cabbage in 2021 averaged 5.9 pounds per person in the United States. Cole crops, such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower, are extensively grown in South Carolina because weather conditions suit their growth.
- Currently, cabbage has a relevant position in the culture of many countries mainly due to its fiber content, minerals (Ca, P, and K), and vitamins (C, K, A, and folate). It is usually consumed fresh in salads, boiled, stir-fried, or fermented. It forms an essential part of the human diet because of its affordability and availability in local markets. Cabbage and other brassicas have the functional potential to regulate glucose levels and improve health in people.
- The market is expected to increase during the forecast period as the demand for cabbage and other brassica is increasing in the processing industry (Napa cabbage is much stringier than regular green cabbage and therefore is more suited to the lactic acid fermentation process in making kimchi and in the processing industries cabbages are used for making pickles) thereby increasing the cultivation area across the world. For instance, the area under brassicas increased from 3.7 million hectares in 2018 to 3.8 million hectares in 2021.
Cabbages & Other Brassicas Market Trends
Increasing Productivity Due to Adoption of New Irrigation Technologies
- Cabbage is a widely cultivated vegetable, but it requires efficient water management to ensure successful production. With a critical irrigation period during the last 3 to 4 weeks before harvest, cabbage has been classified as immediately susceptible to water stress.
- Optimum soil moisture of 75-80% and even 90% during the growth and maturation of the heads, as well as a relative air humidity of 85-90%, are crucial for the cabbage to thrive. Water requirements for cabbage vary from 380 mm to 500 mm depending on the climate and length of the growing season. The most widely adopted irrigation techniques for cabbage production worldwide include furrow, sprinkler, and trickle irrigation.
- The efficient use of these irrigation techniques drives the overall cabbages and other brassicas market. Technological advancements have led to the increased worldwide production of cabbages across the globe, which increased from 70.6 million metric tons in 2019 to 71.7 million metric tons in 2021. This growth is attributed to increased precision irrigation techniques and improved plant genetics and crop management practices. As the world population grows, the demand for healthy and nutritious food products such as cabbage is expected to rise, leading to increased production and investment in the cabbage industry.
- Efficient water management is crucial for successful cabbage production, and the adoption of precision irrigation techniques has led to increased cabbage production worldwide. As the demand for healthy and nutritious food products rises, the cabbage market is expected to grow, providing opportunities for investment and innovation in the industry.
