Almonds Global Market Report 2025

Almonds, the edible seeds harvested from the almond tree (Prunus dulcis), are typically cultivated in warm temperate regions. Renowned for their high nutritional value, almonds are rich in vitamins, minerals, protein, and healthy fats. They offer versatility and are commonly enjoyed as a snack, incorporated into dishes for added flavor and texture, or processed into various products such as almond milk, butter, and flour.

The primary types of almonds include butter almonds, nonpareil almonds, sweet almonds, peerless almonds, green almonds, and other varieties. Butter almonds, distinguished by their rich and creamy texture, are frequently used in recipes or consumed as a delightful snack. These almonds are available through diverse distribution channels, including online platforms, offline stores, and convenience stores, and find application in various forms such as almond powder, almond oil, almond milk, chocolates, almond paste, almond flour, and cosmetic products. Almonds cater to a range of end users, including bakeries, pharmaceutical companies, dairy producers, home kitchens, and the hospitality industry encompassing hotels and restaurants.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and emerging trade disputes in spring 2025 are having a profound impact on the agriculture sector by driving up the costs of essential inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and machinery components sourced from international markets. Higher duties on imported agrochemicals and farm equipment have substantially increased operational expenses for farmers. At the same time, retaliatory tariffs from key global buyers have reduced demand for major U.S. agricultural exports, including corn, wheat, and dairy, straining farm incomes. In response, many producers are exploring crop diversification, investing in precision agriculture to optimize resource use, and calling for government support through subsidies and improved trade access.

The almonds market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.26 billion in 2024 to $9.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to Supply and demand dynamics, global trade policies and tariffs, crop yields and harvest trends, macroeconomic factors, health and nutrition trends, climate change and sustainability, and consumer trends and preferences.

The almonds market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global demand growth, trade policies, and market access, health and wellness trends, environmental sustainability, market competition, and product innovation. Major trends in the forecast period include the expansion of almond plantations, technological advancements in almond farming, sustainability initiatives and certification, product innovation and diversification, health and wellness trends, international trade dynamics, and consumer preferences for sustainable packaging.

The forecast of 6.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This situation may directly strain the US by disrupting imports of specialized pollination equipment and processing machinery from Spain and Italy, leading to reduced orchard productivity. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The anticipated increase in the penetration of e-commerce is set to drive the expansion of the almonds market in the future. E-commerce refers to the online business model that facilitates the exchange of goods and services over the Internet. The growing penetration of e-commerce is fueled by factors such as convenience, the widening access to the internet, and the shift in consumer preferences towards online shopping. E-commerce provides convenient access to a variety of almond products, catering to diverse consumer tastes and extending the market reach for almond sellers. This digital platform also enables direct-to-consumer sales, simplifying the distribution process and potentially boosting profit margins for almond producers. For example, in February 2024, as reported by the United States Census Bureau, e-commerce sales reached $1,118.7 billion in 2023, marking a 7.6% increase from 2022. Hence, the growing penetration of e-commerce is propelling the growth of the almonds market.

Leading companies in the almonds market are concentrating on the development of innovative products, such as chocolate-dipped almonds, to gain a competitive advantage. Chocolate-dipped almonds are whole almonds covered with a layer of chocolate, typically dark, milk, or white chocolate. For instance, in June 2023, Blue Diamond Growers, a UK-based food company, introduced Chocolate Thin Dipped Almonds, a new line of snack nuts. These chocolate-dipped almonds are completely free of cholesterol, artificial flavors, and colors, and contain 50% less sugar than regular chocolate-covered almonds. They are available in two flavors, double dark chocolate and dark chocolate sea salt caramel. Each serving of dipped almonds contains 170 calories and 5 grams of protein. Thin-dipped almonds are marketed as a guilt-free option for individuals looking to enjoy a sweet snack. The thin chocolate layer enhances the natural crunch of the almonds, making them a delectable and sweet treat.
