The Global Nuts Market size is expected to reach $77 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 5.5% CAGR during the forecast period.
Peanuts are a highly nutritious food. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, providing approximately 25% protein content by weight. They are also rich in healthy fats, primarily polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which aid heart health. Consequently, the Peanuts segment would register more than 30% share of the market by 2030. Peanuts contain essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, niacin (vitamin B3), folate (vitamin B9), magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. They contain antioxidants such as resveratrol, which may have health benefits, including potential cardiovascular protection. Some of the factors impacting the market are rising health and wellness trends, increasing consumption of plant-based diets, and Allergen concerns from nuts.
Nuts are often perceived as a highly nutritious and natural food option. They are rich in essential nutrients such as protein, healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats), fiber, vitamins (e.g., vitamin E, B vitamins), minerals (e.g., magnesium, potassium), and antioxidants. This nutrient density aligns with the health-conscious choices of consumers seeking foods that provide optimal nutrition. Health-conscious consumers are increasingly aware of the benefits of consuming healthy fats in nuts. Polyunsaturated, monounsaturated fats, and omega-3 fatty acids in certain nuts have been associated with improved heart health. Nuts’ ability to lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease aligns with heart-healthy dietary recommendations. Additionally, Nuts are high in dietary fiber, which supports digestive health, helps maintain a feeling of fullness, and contributes to overall well-being. Plant-based diets are typically fiber-rich, and nuts complement this dietary emphasis. This property benefits individuals following plant-based diets who are conscious of glycemic control. Nuts are versatile ingredients that can be incorporated into various plant-based recipes. They can be used in salads, stir-fries, grain bowls, desserts, nut milk, and nut butter, making them suitable for various culinary applications. Nuts serve as a convenient and nutritious plant-based snack option for those adhering to plant-based diets. They provide a satisfying option for on-the-go or between-meal snacking.
However, strict food safety regulations require accurate allergen labeling. Nuts are considered a major allergen, and companies must clearly label products that contain or may have come into contact with nuts. Ensuring compliance with these regulations is essential but can be challenging for manufacturers. Cross-contamination is a significant concern in facilities that process multiple nuts and other allergens. Proper cleaning, sanitation, and equipment separation are essential to prevent cross-contamination but require careful management and investment. The presence of nut allergies affects a portion of the consumer base. Nut-allergic individuals and those who care for them may avoid products with any nut-related warnings or traces. This can limit the market for certain nut-containing products.
