Global nut based spread market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period, 2018 to 2023. Globally, nations like United States with their stagnant retail sales of bread, account for the major consumers of nut-based spreads. These spreads are mainly prepared from peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts and others. Spreads are mostly consumed at the breakfast, or at other occasions, and are combined with whole-grain food products like bread, toast, or bagels. Peanut butter has led the way for other nut-based spreads like almond, cashew, macadamia nut, coconut, and walnut to enter the industry and offer a wider variety of spreads for consumers.

High Penetration of Private Label Brands

Apart from the well-established brands, there is also a significant rise in the number of country-specific local brands offering similar products at a more competitive price. This is leading to more competition in the market. Higher competition is also forcing many established international brands to differentiate their products from its local producers, leading to product innovation in the market.

Today, nut-based spreads have become a necessity in many developing and developed countries because of low prices and higher preference for the product among the middle classes of various nations. With increase in private labels and super market brands in nut-based spreads, the consumers are able to switch easily from traditional products and brands without compromising on taste or quality.
