The leafy greens market is the business and commercial industry that deals with the production, distribution, and marketing of green leafy vegetables for consumption. Leafy vegetables are usually grown for their leaves, which are eaten because of their health-promoting qualities in the form of fresh, cooked, or processed leafy greens. Leafy greens are a fundamental part of health-promoting diets because of their fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Moreover, leafy greens contain a plethora of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, which are paramount for heart health, digestive health, and overall wellness. With the increased awareness of health sustenance, the demand for nutrient-dense food, including leafy greens, increases. With increased demand for pre-packaged and ready-to-eat greens, a boost has been given to the market. With busy consumers looking for convenience items such as pre-washed and pre-cut leafy greens that can directly be added to salads, smoothies, or any food. However, leafy vegetables are vulnerable to various pests, diseases, and fungi, adversely affecting crop yields. Aphids, downy mildew, and lettuce leaf spot constitute some of the crop pests that cause reduced harvests alongside the increased costs of pest control and mitigation.

 

The lettuce segment dominated the market in 2023 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the type, the leafy greens market is divided into lettuce, spinach, kale, cabbage & other brassicas, and others. Among these, the lettuce segment dominated the market in 2023 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to lettuce being one of the principal ingredients in new salads consumed both at home and prepared within foodservice markets. This supplements its demand, particularly in the retail and food service chains. Lettuce is easier to grow and has a relatively short growth time compared to other leafy vegetables like kale or cabbage, which are more abundant and less expensive. Also, the lettuce is less susceptible to pests and disease compared to other leafy greens, and this supports the consistent supply.

Also, conventional leafy greens are priced much lower than organic ones, thus appealing to price-sensitive consumers.

Based on the distribution channel, the leafy greens market is divided into retail, food service, and others.
