Pears Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

United States paid the most for pears in Q2 2026: USD 1.09/KG, up 3.8% from USD 1.05 in Q1.

Pears are grown across temperate climate zones worldwide, sold fresh, canned, and as juice or puree concentrate depending on variety and grade. China is by far the largest global producer by volume, though much of that supply serves its own domestic market rather than export channels.

Argentina and Turkey are among the leading exporters supplying Europe and neighbouring markets, while the United States, concentrated in Washington and Oregon orchards, commands a premium for its fresh dessert pear varieties like Bartlett and Anjou.

As a fresh tree fruit with a defined harvest window, pear pricing responds quickly to that season's weather, yield, and controlled-atmosphere storage capacity, which lets the crop reach markets gradually across several months after harvest.

Bartlett, Anjou, and Bosc varieties dominate the fresh dessert segment, each with a distinct harvest window that lets retailers stock fresh pears across nearly the entire year when supply from different hemispheres and regions is combined.

Canned pear halves and juice concentrate absorb a meaningful share of lower-grade fruit that doesn't meet fresh-market cosmetic standards, giving growers a secondary revenue stream that helps smooth out price swings from any single bad cosmetic-quality season.

The spread between the cheapest and priciest markets tracked here, China and United States, ran to roughly 54% in Q2 2026. That gap matters for procurement teams weighing sourcing origin against landed cost, since freight, duties, and local demand intensity all feed into where a given region ultimately lands.

Pears Price Forecast for 2026

Expect steady gains across all four markets through H2 2026 as demand continues outpacing new orchard plantings coming into full bearing. China should retain its position as the most competitively priced origin given its sheer scale of domestic production. The United States should hold its premium given its established position in the fresh dessert pear segment specifically. A cooler-than-normal spring in any of the four regions would be the main risk to watch, since it can delay bloom and compress the harvest window that controlled-atmosphere storage otherwise spreads out.

Across all 4 regions combined, prices moved 4.2% increase on average between Q1 and Q2 2026. Absent a meaningful change to the cost or demand drivers outlined above, that pace looks set to carry into the second half of the year.

How We Can Help

Expert Market Research: Your Source for Real-Time Pears Price Intelligence

We keep a continuous watch on pears prices across every region that produces or consumes it at scale, tracing the raw material and demand drivers back to their source rather than just reporting the number. Our team pulls together pear fruit cultivation cost trends, regional supply and demand shifts, and policy developments into a single, regularly refreshed view of the market.

We build our forecasts from production capacity, feedstock cost trends, and regional demand data, aiming to give procurement teams something they can actually use in budgeting and supplier negotiations, not just a headline number.

If you need a deeper regional breakdown, a longer historical run than the six quarters shown here, or a sourcing analysis built around your specific procurement footprint, our analysts are available to help.

We pay particular attention to controlled-atmosphere storage release schedules, since that timing, more than the harvest itself, often determines when a given season's supply actually reaches buyers.
