The organic edible nuts and seeds market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The organic edible nuts and seeds market has grown rapidly. It is set to rise from $29.69 billion in 2024 to $33.12 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%.
The market growth is fueled by growing consumer awareness of the health benefits of organic nuts and seeds, a shift towards plant-based diets, increased concern for environmental sustainability, and the growing organic food sections in stores.
The organic edible nuts and seeds market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The organic edible nuts and seeds market is forecasted to reach $50.79 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 11.3%.
Growth is driven by increased consumer willingness to pay a premium for high-quality organic products, online retail growth, cultural influences, sustainability practices, and the health benefits of nuts and seeds. Trends include innovations in processing and packaging, eco-friendly solutions, personalized product offerings, and the development of fortified organic nuts and seeds.
The growth of the organic edible nuts and seeds market is anticipated to be driven by a rising consumer interest in vegan diets. All animal products, such as meat, dairy, eggs, and honey, are excluded from these diets. Health benefits, concerns about animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and an increased understanding of the negative effects of animal farming are all contributing to this shift towards vegan diets. Organic edible nuts and seeds provide vegans with essential plant-based proteins, healthy fats, and nutrients, while also promoting sustainable and ethical consumption habits. For example, in April 2023, The Plant-Based Foods Association, a US-based trade organization that advocates for the plant-based food industry, released a report stating that plant-based foods were responsible for $8 billion in U.S. retail sales in 2022, an increase of about 6.67% from $7.5 billion in 2021. As a result, the rise in consumer preference towards vegan diets is propelling the organic edible nuts and seeds market forward.
