Cracking Open a USD 104 Billion Opportunity: Global Nuts Market Booms Through 2035

The global nuts market is on a fast track to expansion. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is projected to surge from USD 64.27 billion in 2025 to USD 104.69 billion by 2035, marking a 5.0% CAGR over the decade. That’s not just growth—it’s a clear indicator of a global shift in how we eat, snack, and fuel our bodies.

Consumers across continents are moving toward plant-based, protein-rich, and clean-label diets. Nuts, already valued for their high nutrient density and versatility, are becoming central to this trend. Almonds alone are projected to hold 31.6% market share by 2025, and food processors—who will account for over 43% of end-use by volume—are driving demand by incorporating nut ingredients into alternative milks, energy bars, and baked goods.

America’s Nut Market Is Missing the Moment

Despite the clear global appetite, the U.S. is underperforming in its response. We’re watching the market balloon—but investing too slowly in domestic innovation, sustainability, and infrastructure. That gap could become a liability.

America’s own nut production is heavily reliant on regions vulnerable to drought, wildfires, and water restrictions, particularly California. Almond orchards, for instance, are under increasing environmental and regulatory stress. Meanwhile, demand is diversifying and evolving, especially in export markets where buyers want ethical sourcing, clean supply chains, and environmental accountability.

The opportunity is massive. But without modernization, the U.S. risks ceding its dominance in key nut categories to countries with more adaptive growing strategies and agile processing capacity.

What Needs to Happen Next

  1. Diversify Crops
    U.S. growers should pivot toward more climate-resilient, drought-tolerant nuts—especially pistachios and hazelnuts—reducing overreliance on almonds.
  2. Modernize Infrastructure
    Domestic processing and value-add capacity must keep pace with global food trends. Nut milks, spreads, and snack innovations are driving volume, and the U.S. needs facilities to match.
  3. Embrace Regenerative Practices
    Soil health, water conservation, and pollinator protection are no longer optional. Global buyers are paying attention, and American growers must meet rising sustainability standards to stay competitive.

Final Word

This isn’t just about snacking. It’s about positioning the United States as a global leader in the future of food. Between 2025 and 2035, the global nuts market is expected to witness accelerated growth—from USD 64.27 billion to USD 104.69 billion, FMI reports. That’s not background noise—it’s a strategic signal.

The U.S. has the land, the innovation, and the heritage. But unless it confronts its climate risks, updates its infrastructure, and starts thinking globally, we could be outpaced in a market we once defined.
