Almond Market at a Glance

As vegan and organic food demand rises, the almond market is anticipated to grow over the next few years. The widespread consumption of snacks made from almonds, the enormous demand for nutrient-rich diets, worries about the rising rate of obesity in the population, and the health advantages of almonds all contribute to the almond market thriving. Additionally, it is projected that the major economies’ expansion of the food and beverage sector and the rising investments made in the area by major market players to improve their market dominance will fuel prospects for almond market growth. In addition, it is expected that shifting consumer preferences for meat substitutes and substitute products due to the growing vegan population will further fuel this expansion in the future. For instance, numerous polls indicate that the vegan population in the UK has grown significantly over the past few years and that this trend is expected to continue.

The forecasted CAGR of the almond market is set at 10.4% for 2020–2027, and the global almond ingredients market is anticipated to increase from USD 9.2 billion in 2019 to USD 20.3 billion by 2027. Europe currently retains the most significant market share in the region due to growing consumer demand for lactose-free foods. As a result, 41% of the global almond market share belongs to this continent.

Almond Market Products

Due to their health advantages and sustainability points, almonds are in demand worldwide and used as ingredients in multiple food and cosmetic products. Sales of plant-based products have surged considerably, despite the COVID-19 pandemic having significantly impacted consumer purchasing power. Consumers are more concerned with eating and lifestyle decisions, and businesses are trending towards sustainable and green options to appeal to consumer demand. Furthermore, people are likely to move to plant-based options like almonds due to increased awareness of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock farming. So, what are the primary products leading the almond market, and how are they performing?

Almond Milk

Almond and oat milk are two examples of plant-based milk substitutes that are becoming more and more well-liked. Weight loss, an abundance of antioxidants, lactose-free, and the capacity to strengthen bones are just a few advantages of almond milk. Manufacturers also produce novel flavors and products with great nutritional value to attract customers. In the forecasted period from 2022 to 2030, the almond milk market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 15.2%.

Almond Oil

Almond oil has been used for millennia for health and aesthetic benefits. Today we see it in cosmetics and skin care, including face creams, moisturizers, cleansers, and hair products. Furthermore, it has applications in medicine, where it relieves muscle tension, strengthens the immune system, cleanses the colon, and induces bowel movements. Other factors boosting almond oil demand in the global almond market include the rising urban population, rising quality of living, and changing lifestyles as consumers become more aware of goods with natural ingredients and various health advantages.

By the end of 2022, the market for almond oil is projected to be worth US$1.42 billion. Furthermore, sales of almond oil are anticipated to increase by an astounding 13.4 CAGR between 2022 and 2032, with a closing price of US$4,993.7 million.

Almond Flour

Due to its excellent nutritional profile, almond flour is a prized ingredient in the clean-label category. Almond flour is a rich source of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. For this reason, almond flour is frequently used as the main ingredient in various products, including baked goods, sweets, and cosmetics. Additionally, the expanding market for paleo, keto, and gluten-free alternatives will present profitable opportunities for businesses involved in the almond flour industry. Online sales of almond flour have also increased significantly during the past few years. As a result, almond flour consumption is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 8.3% from 2022-2032.

Food For Thought 

Almonds are popular worldwide, yet they don’t thrive just anywhere. They benefit from a particular climate and soil type and need plenty of water. That’s why almonds are grown commercially in only three locations: Spain, Australia, and California. Although 78% of the world’s almonds are presently produced in California, they are a new addition to the region, having been introduced by Spanish explorers in the 1700s. Although California offers excellent growing conditions, climate change and drought have wreaked havoc in recent years. This threat in California, coupled with the high demand for Europe, means that almond farms in Spain are in a unique vantage point.
