Walnut Ingredients Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Walnut Kernels, Walnut Oil), By Application (Food Industry, Cosmetics & Personal Care), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030

Walnut Ingredients Market Growth & Trends

The global walnut ingredients market size is projected to reach USD 2.59 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is primarily fueled by the increasing adoption of walnut-based products in the food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical sectors. Consumers increasingly opt for plant-based, omega-rich, and allergen-free ingredients, creating a surge in demand for walnut kernels, oil, flour, and extracts across retail and B2B channels.

Walnut kernels continue to dominate the market due to their widespread use in snacks, cereals, and bakery applications. However, walnut flour and walnut oil are gaining momentum, particularly in gluten-free and clean-label food products and natural personal care formulations. North America remains the largest market, supported by strong retail networks and food innovation, while Asia Pacific is witnessing rapid growth due to rising health awareness and supply-side strength in countries like China and India.

The market is also witnessing innovation in sustainable sourcing, cold-pressed oil processing, and biodegradable cosmetic formulations. Leading manufacturers such as Olam International and Poindexter Nut Company are investing in high-efficiency processing facilities and traceable supply chains to meet global standards. Regional expansion and the introduction of functional walnut ingredients tailored for sports nutrition, heart health, and natural skincare are expected to offer long-term growth opportunities.

Despite challenges such as walnut oil's perishability and oxidative sensitivity, producers are developing improved packaging, cold-chain logistics, and product stabilization methods. These advancements not only mitigate risks but also enhance the shelf life and usability of walnut-based ingredients across diverse geographies and industries.
