The demand for nut-based products belonging to the categories such as snacks, dairy, bakery, and confectionery is gaining importance in the market. Increasing health concerns among consumers in the market, such as gluten intolerance and the prevalence of allergens, encourage them to opt for hazelnut and almond spreads over conventional spreads available in the market.

The products are initially retailed across Florida, Texas, Georgia, Indiana, and Illinois.

The increasing consumer health awareness and the rising disposable income across regions have encouraged people to opt for high-quality nut products.

For instance, peanut butter, the most popular spread in the market, is commonly used in various recipes such as smoothies, desserts, and protein shakes.

Nut Based Spreads Market Trends

Increasing Consumer's Inclination Toward Vegan Culture and Vegan Diets

Consumers following a plant-based and vegan diet use nut-based spreads. Additionally, an increasing vegan population worldwide encourages the adoption of hazelnut spreads and other nut-based spreads available in the market. Hazelnut spreads are the second-largest segment, with only almond spreads ahead of it. Consumers seeking various healthy options of spreads are also boosting the hazelnut market. The significant players are using this opportunity to produce protein-rich spreads from plant sources.

The high sugar content of nut-based spreads with chocolate combinations has negatively impacted the market as consumers are becoming more health-conscious and looking for low-sugar substitutes, encouraging manufacturers to offer low-calorie and sugar-free products. Consumers with heart diseases majorly drive the demand for hazelnut-based products as hazelnut, an antioxidant-rich product, is linked to a reduced risk of developing heart disease. Besides, the rich hazelnut flavor of the nut spread is another factor for its high demand.

Apart from health concerns, consumers are concerned with the animal cruelty involved in manufacturing certain nut-based products. Owing to this factor, they are predominantly looking for vegan claimed, cruelty-free claimed products in the market to support the anti-cruelty against animals., thus, boosting the demand for vegan-based processed food products, such as hazelnut spreads, in the market.

Major brands such as Nutella dominate the market, with innovations such as spreads made with natural ingredients, i.e., free from additives like artificial sugars and gelling agents.

With increasing health concerns such as the prevalence of chronic diseases among consumers, they are primarily opting for low-calorie and low fat claimed-based spreads to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Increasing demand for low-fat spreads is a significant factor driving nut-based spreads in North America.
