Global Green Bean Market Grows Robustly to $31B

IndexBox has just published a new report: 'World - Green Beans - Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights'. Here is a summary of the report's key findings.

The global green bean market was estimated at $31.1B in 2019, surging by 4.7% against the previous year.

The market value increased at an average annual rate of +1.3% from 2013 to 2019; the trend pattern remained relatively stable, with somewhat noticeable fluctuations throughout the analyzed period.

Taking into account the closure of the HoReCa sector worldwide due to the pandemic, a decrease in consumer incomes and possible disruptions in the work of international supply chains, global green bean consumption is expected to stagnate in 2020. Afterward, the start of gradual market growth is expected as the global economy recovers from the effects of the pandemic.
