Environmental concerns about chemical use in conventional agriculture are driving growth in organic farming, which is projected to support market growth in the near future. A favorable regulatory framework is another major factor expected to contribute to market growth over the next seven years.

Government and agency agriculture-related initiatives are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the global industry during the forecast period. The recent surge in demand for organic products is largely due to increased awareness of the health benefits associated with organic nuts and seeds. In addition, as internet access expands, the global market for purchasing these food products has grown rapidly in recent years.

Organic nuts and seeds possess several excellent characteristics, including high antioxidant content and other nutritional benefits. They are free from chemical exposure to fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides, making them healthier than their conventional counterparts. These products are cultivated in certified organic environments, ensuring that the raw materials used in processing are completely free of artificial additives and any trace amounts of chemical fertilizers.

Analyst Perspective

The demand for organic edible nuts and seeds is growing as consumers increasingly seek natural, nutrient-rich food and are better educated about healthy food choices. Consumers are drawn to organic and less-processed products, and these are becoming standard fare for snacking, plant-based foods, and functional nutrition. They offer an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making nuts and seeds more appealing to consumers aiming to boost cardiovascular health, support weight management, and enhance overall health. Consumer confidence is also being reinforced by the growth in clean-label products, vegan diets, and the demand for sustainably sourced food products. In addition, increasing application of organic nuts and seeds in baked goods, cereals, dairy substitutes, nutritional bars, and supplements is opening up various avenues in the food sector. Consumer interest will continue to grow for transparency, superior quality, and health-promoting benefits. This will favor producers that focus on organic certification, product differentiation, and wider product applications.

Product Insights

Almonds dominated the global market, accounting for over 30.0% of total revenues in 2025. Increased consumption and production of almonds in key regions such as Europe and North America are likely to complement the overall segment growth. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. consumer demand for almonds has increased by over 500% since 1980. Almonds are widely used in many food and beverage applications, including roasted snacks, nut mixes, breakfast cereals, bakery goods, confectionery items, organic edible nuts and seeds, plant-based milk, protein bars, and nutritional supplements. Their nutrient composition (high levels of protein, fiber, vitamin E, and healthy fats) makes them a popular ingredient for healthy consumers and producers creating functional, clean-label products.

The hazelnut is anticipated to register a notable CAGR from 2026 to 2033. Hazelnuts are very popular and one of the most cultivated and consumed nuts in the world. Furthermore, their easy availability through retail channels is driving market growth. For instance, in March 2025, Ferrero increased its emphasis on responsible hazelnut sourcing through its Quality at Heart campaign, which highlights the use of responsibly sourced hazelnuts across its portfolio. Favorite items like Nutella, hazelnut spread, and Ferrero Rocher have contributed to, and continue to drive, global hazelnut consumption growth due to their widespread use in confectionery and luxury snack categories. This growth in popularity is fueling increasing demand for hazelnuts throughout both developed and emerging countries.

Distribution Channel Insights

The B2B distribution channel held the largest market share in 2025, at around 50.0%. Aggressive investments by private equity and venture capital firms in B2B payments are creating new growth opportunities for key players in the market. For example, bulk sourcing of organic almonds, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds from food processors, bakery product manufacturers, plant-based dairy producers, and snack product manufacturers for use in their protein bars, breakfast cereals, plant-based milks, trail mixes, or sweets is being bought. Demand from institutional buyers is enhancing B2B distribution.

The B2C segment is expected to accelerate at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing share of mobile payments in the e-commerce industry is providing momentum to the abovementioned segment. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of digital wallets worldwide is expected to drive growth in the B2C segment over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market, accounting for over 50.0% of the market in 2025. The growing inclusion of nuts and seeds in people’s diets across North America is expected to drive the market. In addition, the growing trend toward lower-fat diets is driving increased consumption of organic nuts in North America. Furthermore, production methods and safety aspects continue to influence purchase decisions. Hence, manufacturers remain on guard, labeling products to attract more consumers. For instance, in 2026, the continued increase in North American demand for organic foods can be attributed to a continued consumer inclination towards clean-label and sustainably derived food items, as well as the further extension of retailers' private-label assortments into all organic product categories, such as fresh produce, nuts and seeds, and packaged and convenience foods. The large US/Canada supermarket equivalents of the UK's Tesco (Walmart, Whole Foods Market) are expanding access to private-label and branded organic foods, especially in plant-based and functional nutrition categories, reflecting the prevailing trend of health-oriented, low-consumption patterns in urban households.
