The global walnut market size reached USD 8.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% during 2025-2033.

Walnuts refer to large, round, and wrinkled edible seeds that belong to any of the deciduous trees of the Juglandaceae family. They are a good source of healthy omega-3 fats, antioxidants, and essential nutrients, such as fibers, proteins, carbohydrates, calcium, iron, sodium, phosphorous, and manganese. Walnuts help improve bone and brain health, prevent cardiovascular disorders and cancer, minimize the risk of gallbladder disease, reduce cholesterol levels, and aid in weight management. Due to these health benefits, walnuts are widely consumed as nuts and used in bakery products and to make walnut oil, an expensive culinary oil extensively utilized in salad dressings.

Walnut Market Trends:

As walnuts offer numerous skin, hair, and health benefits, the escalating demand for healthy and nutritious food products represents the primary factor driving the market growth. Besides this, the rising consumption of walnuts as an ingredient in the food processing industry to manufacture nut butter, confectionery, chocolates, and bakery products is another major growth-inducing factor. Additionally, there has been a significant shift toward a healthy lifestyle due to the high prevalence of chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This, in confluence with the growing awareness regarding the high nutritional content and health benefits of walnuts among the masses, is catalyzing the product demand. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of walnuts in the cosmetics and personal care industry and the increasing product usage in traditional sweets, savory items, and other ready-to-eat (RTE) meals are propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the rising demand for convenience foods, inflating consumer expenditure capacities, and the emerging trend of healthy snacking, are also creating a positive market outlook.
