The nut products market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a significant expansion in the size of the nut products market of late. Its growth is projected to rise from $4.25 billion in 2024 to $4.56 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The previous period's growth was fuelled by factors such as health and nutritional trends, varied cooking applications, health consciousness and promotions, changes in food preferences, and studies on health advantages.
The Nut Products market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of nut products is anticipated to experience significant growth in the impending years. It's predicted to escalate to $6.28 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%.
Causes for this heightened growth during the forecast period may include factors such as the culinary adaptability and cultural influence of nuts, their status as a functional food and ingredient, sustainable and ethical consumption practices, emerging nut-based products, and the globalization of nut varieties. Noteworthy trends for this forecast period encompass influence from digital and social media, the increasing popularity of convenient and portable snacks, global culinary fusion, strategic partnerships, and an emphasis on sustainability and ethical sourcing.
The surge in health-centric individuals is anticipated to propel the nut products market's expansion. Health literacy pertains to the understanding and consciousness about health, healthcare, medical necessities, diseases, and universal preventive measures. Given the increasing health cognizance and the shift in food choices among consumers, the demand for nut products—replete with numerous nutrients, antioxidants, and triglycerides—is shooting up. To illustrate, an online survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a US-based non-profit focused on disseminating science-derived data regarding food safety, nutrition, and health, revealed in June 2024 that out of 1,005 American respondents, 54% adhered to a healthy diet regime in 2024—signifying a substantial increase from the 52% recorded in 2023. Consequently, this escalation in health-focused individuals is stimulating the growth of the nut products market.
