Market Growth Factors

The hazelnut market is growing steadily, propelled by the increasing recognition of the health benefits and nutritional value of hazelnuts. Packed with essential vitamins like vitamin E, minerals such as manganese and copper, antioxidants, and healthy fats including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, hazelnuts support heart health and digestion. Studies highlight their role in reducing cholesterol levels and lowering risks of heart disease, encouraging manufacturers to innovate hazelnut snacks, spreads, and beverages catering to health-conscious consumers.

The demand for hazelnut-based products spans chocolates, spreads, baked goods, and flavored coffees, driven by their unique flavor and texture. Iconic products like Nutella have propelled significant hazelnut consumption globally. Additionally, hazelnut-flavored coffees and beverages have garnered popularity among consumers seeking new indulgent tastes, reinforcing the expanding market base.

A major driver is the surging popularity of plant-based diets emphasizing the consumption of nuts and seeds as protein sources. Hazelnuts provide key nutrients such as protein, fiber, and vitamins, serving as a nutritious alternative to animal-based proteins. Their culinary versatility adds flavor and texture to vegan and vegetarian dishes, supporting their integration in diverse diets.
