Lychees Market Analysis

The global lychees market size reached USD 7.22 Billion in 2024. By 2033​, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 11.6 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.13% during 2025-2033.

• The increasing consumer demand for exotic and healthy fruits is a primary driver of the lychee market. Lychees are mainly composed of water (82%) and carbs (16.5%). A 100-gram serving of fresh lychees provides 66 calories, 0.8 grams of protein, 16.5 grams of carbs, 15.2 grams of sugar, 1.3 grams of fiber, and 0.4 grams of fat. Awareness of the health benefits, such as improved digestion, boosted immunity, and anti-inflammatory properties, has further fueled their popularity. In March 2021, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) granted a Geographical Indication (GI) certificate to lychees from Luc Ngan District, Bac Giang Province, recognizing their quality and opening up new international markets with strict import standards. Such initiatives help highlight the health benefits of lychee and drive their sales.
• In line with this, the increasing demand for organic fruits, including organic variants of lychee, is a significant trend expected to positively impact the lychee market in the forecast period. Organic food products are becoming popular globally as they are produced without synthetic fertilizers, chemical pesticides, artificial ingredients, and genetic engineering. Consequently, farmers are increasingly adopting organic farming techniques. For example, in November 2021, Mumbai-based Zama Organics established a network of 50,000 certified farmers across India, providing seasonal produce like lychees. This shift toward organic farming is anticipated to support market growth in the coming years.
• Another crucial factor driving the lychee market is the expanding global trade and improved logistics infrastructure, which have made lychees more accessible to markets beyond their traditional growing regions. Improved transportation and storage technologies, such as controlled atmosphere packaging, have extended the shelf life of lychees, enabling them to reach distant markets in optimal condition. This increased availability has contributed to the rising global consumption of lychees. For instance, over 4,200 tonnes of fresh lychees, valued at over 22.85 million USD, have been exported to China via the Kim Thanh II International Border Gate in Lao Cai Province since the start of the harvesting season. To facilitate these exports, the Management Board of Lao Cai Border Economic Zone has streamlined procedures and arranged convenient lanes for trucks carrying fresh lychees, completing all necessary steps within the morning to minimize risks, particularly during hot and sunny weather conditions. In 2023, more than 40,000 tonnes of fresh lychees were exported to China through this border gate.
• The lychee market is expanding as consumers in emerging and developing countries increasingly seek fresh food. Government initiatives and rising trade from major producers further drive this growth. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lychee products such as jam, juice concentrates, canned lychee, and dried lychee. China is a leading producer and exporter of lychees, holding a significant share of the global lychee export market. According to the ITC Trade Map, China's fresh lychee exports were valued at USD 64 million in 2021, with annual exports exceeding 21 tons. Guangdong province alone exported lychees worth USD 23 million, accounting for about 60% of China's total. Furthermore, the northern province of Hai Duong is actively promoting lychee sales as the fruit from Thanh Ha district ripens in late May. In April 2023, the Hai Duong Department of Industry and Trade and the Thanh Ha People’s Committee organized a conference to enhance lychee sales and value. Thanh Ha, known for its lychees, cultivates 3,265 hectares of the fruit, including 1,700 hectares of early-ripening varieties. Of these, 400 hectares meet VietGAP standards, and 50 hectares meet GlobalGAP standards.
• Besides this, the increasing popularity of Asian cuisine and fusion food trends in Western countries is driving the demand for lychees, which are a staple fruit in many Asian dishes. Investments in research and development (R&D) to improve lychee farming techniques, pest control, and disease management are also leading to higher yields and better-quality fruit. For instance, in August 2022, scientists at South China Agricultural University's School of Horticulture developed the world's first longan/lychee hybrid, SZ52, expected to have characteristics suitable for commercialization and widespread adoption. Additionally, in June 2022, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) and the Bihar Fruit & Vegetable Development Corporation (BFVDC) organized a virtual meeting with international importers, exporters, and plant suppliers. This meeting aimed to promote Bihar's 'Langara aam' and 'Shahi litchi' in overseas markets, including Mauritius, New Zealand, Bahrain, Qatar, the UK, and the UAE.
