The consumption of nuts continued growing at a fast rate in 2021 after making significant gains throughout the pandemic. Total volume sales grew, with consumption increasing in all channels after the inevitable steep decline in the foodservice and institutional channels in 2020.
Nuts has shown significant resilience to a variety of challenges that affected all fresh foods in 2021. Starting from the pandemic, it was key to capitalise on the trends that emerged during the strict and prolonged lockdown in the country.
The projections for nuts in Italy show an overall positive performance over the forecast period. Other nuts such as Brazil nuts and hazelnuts are expected to outperform the rest of the market due to consumers’ renewed curiosity about less popular as well as more traditionally known varieties during lockdown.
Tradition will play a significant role in the growth of nuts consumption as local production is expected to expand significantly throughout the forecast period and profitability in the category will increase. A major trend among Italian consumers is the gradual return to locally-sourced ingredients, both in the retail space and in the foodservice channel.
