The US and Europe nuts and seeds cheese market are poised for significant growth in the upcoming years, primarily driven by the increasing consumer inclination towards vegan diets and a rising incidence of lactose intolerance in both regions. The health benefits associated with nuts and seeds further contribute to the market's expansion. However, challenges such as growing nut allergies and product pricing may hinder market growth. On the flip side, the surge in organic food and beverage consumption presents a lucrative opportunity for industry players during the forecast period.
The market segmentation based on product type includes almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, macadamia, pistachio, and others. Cashews currently dominate the market share and are expected to maintain an above-average growth rate. Meanwhile, the sunflower seed segment is projected to witness the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) throughout the forecast period.
In terms of form, the market is categorized into blocks & wheels, spreads, and others. The blocks & wheels segment captured the largest market share in 2019 and is anticipated to experience the highest CAGR in the coming years.
The distribution channel segmentation comprises store-based and non-store-based channels. The store-based category, further divided into supermarkets & hypermarkets, convenience stores, and others, dominated the market share in 2019. While the store-based segment is expected to register a moderate CAGR during the forecast period, the non-store-based segment is projected to exhibit a higher CAGR during the review period.
Despite the positive outlook, certain challenges loom over the market. The increasing prevalence of nut allergies poses a risk, and the relatively high prices of these products may impede market growth. However, the escalating demand for organic food and beverages presents a promising opportunity for market vendors in the US and Europe, offering potential growth avenues in the coming years.
The US and Europe nuts and seeds cheese market are on track for robust growth, fueled by shifting consumer preferences towards vegan diets, increasing lactose intolerance, and the recognized health benefits of nuts and seeds. The market's trajectory is further influenced by factors such as product type, form, and distribution channels, with promising opportunities in the organic food and beverage segment. Challenges notwithstanding, the market is poised for a dynamic and evolving landscape during the forecast period.
