With the continuous development of global trade, dehydrated ginger, a daily seasoning, has gradually gained favor in the international market. In 2024, the export volume of dehydrated ginger showed a significant growth trend, bringing unprecedented market opportunities to related industries. However, at the same time, this industry also faces many challenges.
In 2024, the export market of dehydrated ginger in China shows a trend of "increasing quantity and decreasing price". Compared with 2023, the export volume of dehydrated ginger has shown explosive growth, although the annual export volume in 2023 was 278400 tons due to high domestic prices, a year-on-year decrease of 31.04%, setting a new low in nearly seven years. However, with the concentrated launch of the new season ginger and the return to rational prices, the export market has rapidly rebounded. Data shows that the export volume reached 52000 tons in January, reaching a peak of the year, while in September it dropped to 27000 tons, the lowest point of the year. It is worth noting that in the 12 months of the year, 11 months achieved year-on-year positive growth, with a year-on-year increase of 177% in May and only a slight decrease of 3.5% in December.
The increase in the export volume of dried whole ginger is mainly attributed to the expansion of international market demand. In 2024, the global demand for dried whole ginger consumption continues to grow, especially in the European and American markets where there is a strong demand for high-quality dried whole ginger. Meanwhile, major competitors such as Peru have experienced a significant reduction in production by 30-35% due to extreme weather conditions, resulting in a total production of only 46500 tons. This has opened up more market space for dried whole ginger in China. Data shows that China's exports of dried whole ginger to the Netherlands and the United States reached 67200 tons and 58700 tons respectively, ranking among the top two export volumes.
The export growth rate of dried sliced ginger is expected to slow down in 2025, and the price will hover at a low level. Specifically, the average export price may remain within the range of 9000-11000 yuan/ton, and the year-on-year decline may narrow to within 10%. In terms of market distribution, Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets may further expand their market share, while European and American market share may face strong competition from countries such as Thailand. Meanwhile, the export proportion of deep processed products is expected to exceed 20%, becoming a new growth point.
