The almond extract market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the almond extract market has seen robust growth in the past years. The market is projected to expand from a value of $1.06 billion in 2024 to a projected value of $1.14 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.
Several factors have contributed to this historic growth, including the tradition and culture of baking, the surge in the packaged and processed food sector, the demand for natural and high-end ingredients, the development of the global sweets market, and the expansion of the drinks industry.
The almond extract market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market for almond extract is forecasted to experience significant expansion, with the expectation to reach $1.48 billion by 2029, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
This anticipated growth during the prediction period can be correlated to the rising demand for organic and natural products, the rise of plant-based and vegan diets, the emergence of premium and gourmet food markets, an increasing tendency towards use in beverage applications, and innovation in flavor combinations and profiles. Major trends to expect in the forecast period consist of products with clean-labels, the embrace of sustainable farming practices, the creation of novel flavors and mixtures, cost-effective extraction processes, and natural and organic almond extracts.
The surge in organic food demand is anticipated to accelerate the expansion of the almond extract market. Organic food implies products cultivated and processed without the application of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and artificial additives. The augmenting demand for organic food can be attributed to heightened consumer awareness regarding health benefits, environmental sustainability, and preference for natural, chemical-free items. Almond extract enriches organic food with a natural, sumptuous flavor which can be paired with numerous organic meals and baked goods. This gives an original taste without resorting to artificial additives. It is in line with the fundamental beliefs of organic food production which emphasize purity and quality. For example, in May 2023, the Organic Trade Association, a U.S. organization advocating for organic trade, revealed that U.S. organic food sales exceeded $60 billion for the first time in 2022 while total organic sales with non-food items peaked at a record-breaking $67.6 billion. In parallel, in February 2023, The Organic Research Centre, a UK-based non-profit organization, reported a rise in revenues from organic food and drink production in the UK, climbing from £3.05 billion ($3.88 billion) in 2021 to £3.11 billion ($3.95 billion) in 2022. As such, the burgeoning demand for organic food is bolstering the almond extract market's growth.
