The Emerging Nut Snack Segment Drives the Global Walnut Market

IndexBox has just published a new report: 'World - Shelled Walnuts - Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights'. Here is a summary of the report's key findings.

The global walnut estimated at approx. 2.5M tons on a shelled walnut basis, equating to near $17.1B. This figure reflects the total revenues of producers and importers (excluding logistics costs, retail marketing costs, and retailers' margins, which will be included in the final consumer price).

Against the pandemic background, and given the tangible rise in walnut outputs, the processing of walnuts into snack products emerges as the new driver of global walnut market growth. To overcome the drop in HoReCa sales, manufacturers started to offer snacks with exotic flavors, products rich in protein, healthier and more nutritious snacks. Various combinations of ingredients are used that combine traditional nuts, seeds and berries with new additives such as dried tropical fruits, cinnamon, vanilla, herbs, garlic, and much more in order to create unique combinations of taste and nutrition values.

As of the entire 2020, there was an increase in global walnut production, which grew noticeably in almost all major producing countries. In the U.S. and Chile, the volume of production increased by near 20% over the past year. In China, the growth in the production of walnuts was more modest, standing at near 2%. In the EU, walnut production, by contrast, decreased by about 4.5%. In general, the structure of the largest walnut-producing countries is not expected to undergo significant changes on a global scale. China and the U.S. will continue to lead in terms of output in the medium term.

In the prospect of the upcoming decade, the performance of the market is forecast to expand gradually, with an anticipated CAGR of +0.9% for the period from 2019 to 2030, which is projected to bring the market volume to 2.7M tons by the end of 2030. The market potential could be found in the expansion of the range of nut-based snacks positioned as “healthy” products. Rising demand for healthy food is a trend that is evident in different parts of the world. The benefits of walnuts are recognized worldwide: they appear in healthy snacks via the retail sector and as the main staple component ingredient in many forms of food and drinks, such as cakes, biscuits, mixed nuts, walnut-flavored snacks and food, etc.

Turkey Emerges as the Fastest-Growing Shelled Walnut Importer

In 2019, global imports of walnuts reached 249K tons on a shelled basis, with an increase of 3.8% against 2018 figures. The total import volume increased at an average annual rate of +5.8% over the period from 2012 to 2019. Global imports peaked in 2019 and are expected to retain growth in the near future. In value terms, walnut imports amounted to $1.5B (IndexBox estimates) in 2019.

In 2019, Germany (43K tons on a shelled basis), distantly followed by Japan (17K tons), Spain (17K tons), South Korea (13K tons), France (12K tons), Canada (12K tons) and the Netherlands (11K tons) were the major importers of walnuts, together creating 50% of total imports. The UK (10K tons), Italy (8.9K tons), Turkey (6K tons), Israel (5.8K tons), Austria (5.2K tons) and the United Arab Emirates (4.7K tons) followed a long way behind the leaders.

From 2012 to 2019, average annual rates of growth with regard to walnut imports into Germany stood at +14.2%. At the same time, Turkey (+17.7%), the United Arab Emirates (+16.6%), the Netherlands (+12.7%), Italy (+11.4%), Austria (+9.1%), Spain (+9.1%), Israel (+9.1%), the UK (+8.0%), France (+6.3%), Japan (+4.9%), Canada (+4.8%) and South Korea (+2.3%) displayed positive paces of growth.
