Almond-based Spreads Market Trends

Consumer Inclination Toward Healthy Food

An increase in consumer desire for healthy food options and shifting food consumption habits are the main factors driving the global demand for almond-based spreads. The rising concern of lifestyle disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is influencing consumer shift toward a plant-based diet. Thus, the growing consumer preference for vegan foods is the key factor promoting the adoption of almond-based spreads as a substitute for animal-based spreads, such as butter and mayonnaise.

Further, the growing number of vegan and vegetarian consumers due to the rising popularity of dairy-free and meat-free meals is anticipated to drive the sales of almond-based spreads during the forecast period. Adding on, these consumers perceive nuts as a great protein alternative, creating a huge opportunity for nut-based products, such as almond-based spreads. Moreover, changing consumer lifestyle choices, such as organic, low-calorie, and keto-friendly diets, are influencing manufacturers to innovate their product offerings. For instance, in October 2021, Maison des Noix, a Japanese brand of nut butter, launched a new line of nut spreads, including almond butter, cashew butter, and pumpkin seed butter. All products are JAS and EU-certified organic and without any added oils, sugars, or additives.
