Outlook of the global nuts and seeds market

Technavio’s analyst predicts the global nuts and seeds market to grow moderately at a CAGR of more than 5% during the forecast period. The numerous health benefits of nuts and seeds are the key factors driving this until the end of 2020. Nuts are a rich source of proteins, healthy oils, and antioxidants. They are also a rich source of proteins and fiber content and, therefore, they are perfect as a nutritious and convenient snack. Also, manufacturers are marketing nuts and seeds as a source of good fats, for example, the Borges Natura range of raw nuts have high fiber content, omega-3 fatty acids, and act as an excellent source of iron, magnesium, and phosphorous. Furthermore, a wide variety of new products is anticipated to be launched during the forecast period which will propel the prospects of growth of this market over the forecast period.

The rising vegan population globally is expected to contribute to the market growth during the forecast period. People are increasingly substituting traditional sources of protein, like red meat, with plant-based alternatives such as protein-rich nuts. This recent shift toward the consumption of vegan diet is expected to drive the market growth for nuts and seeds during the forecast period.
