Industry Outlook Report

Industry Outlook 2025 provides the most up-to-date data and sharp analysis on U.S. and global apple production, utilization and trade.

Authored by USApple Vice President of Insights and Analytics, Chris Gerlach, the Outlook report provides:

  • A comprehensive look at current crop conditions, state-by-state production estimates, varietal trends, and international market dynamics.
  • Key economic factors affecting growers, including labor costs, input prices, and consumer demand patterns.

Serving as both a reference and forecasting tool, the report equips apple industry leaders, policymakers, and allied stakeholders with the insights they need to navigate challenges and identify opportunities in the year ahead.

The Outlook Report features the official USDA estimates. Following the presentation of these figures at Outlook, USApple members met in person to discuss current growing conditions and develop a more up-to-date crop estimate.
