Nutmeg Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Nutmeg Market according to our research experts:
Increasing International Trade of Nutmeg is Driving the Market
Nutmeg is widely used in Asian cuisines and it is becoming popular in many parts of the world. Europe is one of the major importers of Nutmeg. The rising popularity of ethnic cuisines, such as Indian and Thai, has spurred the demand for spices such as nutmeg among food manufacturers.
In Indonesia, the nutmeg trade is geared more toward export than domestic consumption. Nutmeg is commonly converted into sweets and syrup in the local market to add value from raw to processed form. Because marketing is limited to production areas, the marketing opportunity for sweets remains enormous. Nutmeg is primarily grown in the southern state of Kerala, although it has lately moved to the eastern state of Andhra Pradesh and the northeastern region of India.
The European Union is one of the fastest-growing export markets for Indonesian nutmeg. However, the European Union applies severe laws (private standards) to all imported products, including nutmeg, particularly in terms of health and food safety. The European people's health-conscious culture drives them to seek natural ingredients in the food they consume. The consumption of Indonesian nutmeg in the European Union is divided into two categories: dry nutmeg (whole nutmeg and powder nutmeg) and dried mace. Whole dried nutmeg is widely used for flavoring in the food industry, meat and dairy products (sausages, soups, spice mixes, baked goods, eggnog, ice cream, etc), as well as in the home. The increasing consumption is anticipated to grow the nutmeg trade during the forecast period.
