根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,全球腰果仁市場預計在 2025 年達到 74 億美元,到 2032 年將達到 133 億美元,預測期內的複合年成長率為 8.7%。
腰果仁取自腰果樹(Anacardium occidentale),是腰果內部可食用的種子。去除有毒的睪丸層和堅硬的外殼後,取出的是呈腎形的乳脂狀部分。腰果仁營養豐富,富含蛋白質、健康脂肪、維生素和礦物質,口感香脆,帶有濃郁的奶油味。腰果仁被廣泛用作零食,也用於烘焙、烹飪和製作糖果甜點。它們還可以加工成腰果醬、腰果油和其他加工產品,使其成為世界各地重要的農產品。
根據國際堅果和乾果協會的數據,2017 年德國的人均堅果消費量位居世界第一,估計為 1.7 公斤/年。
全球對健康零食和植物性蛋白質的需求不斷成長
腰果仁富含健康脂肪、植物性蛋白質和抗氧化劑等必需營養素,深受注重健康的消費者的喜愛。隨著素食主義和純素生活方式的興起,腰果已成為動物性食品的優質替代品。食品製造商正在將腰果仁添加到各種植物來源零食、蛋白棒和乳製品替代品中。創新產品應用的激增正在擴大市場範圍和消費率。此外,人們對堅果健康益處的認知不斷提高,也進一步增強了全球需求。
易受價格波動影響
腰果原料價格的波動使加工商和出口商難以估算成本。惡劣天氣和政治不穩定導致全球供應突然變化,影響採購方式。外匯風險加劇了依賴進口的國家的成本波動。這些波動阻礙了該行業的長期投資,降低了利潤率。因此,買家和製造商可能不願意進入新市場或擴大業務。

由於消費者對植物來源零食和健康蛋白質替代品的需求不斷成長,預計北美在預測期內的複合年成長率最高。人們對心臟健康和潔淨標示食品的認知不斷提高,推動了腰果仁在零售和餐飲業的流行。由於強大的分銷網路和堅果產品的創新,美國佔據了該地區腰果需求的主導地位。此外,不斷成長的素食者和彈性素食者人口也推動了市場擴張。然而,高進口依賴度可能會帶來供應鏈挑戰。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Cashew Kernel Market is accounted for $7.4 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $13.3 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. The cashew kernel, which comes from the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), is the edible seed that is found inside the cashew nut. After the poisonous testa layer and hard outer shell are removed, the creamy, kidney-shaped portion is removed. Cashew kernels are valued for their nutritional content, which includes proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, as well as their rich, buttery flavour and crunchy texture. Cashew kernels are widely eaten as a snack or used in baking, cooking, and confections. They are also processed to make cashew butter, oil, and other products, which makes them an important agricultural product all over the world.
According to the International Nuts and Dried Fruit Council, Germany had the highest per capita consumption globally, with an estimated 1.7 kg/year in 2017.
Rising global demand for healthy snacks and plant-based protein
Cashew kernels are rich in essential nutrients, including healthy fats, plant-based protein, and antioxidants, making them a favored choice among health-conscious consumers. As vegetarian and vegan lifestyles gain momentum, cashews serve as a protein-rich alternative to animal products. Food manufacturers are incorporating cashew kernels into a wide array of plant-based snacks, protein bars, and dairy alternatives. This surge in innovative product applications is expanding market reach and consumption rates. Additionally, growing awareness of the health benefits associated with nuts further reinforces their global demand.
High susceptibility to price fluctuations
Price volatility for raw cashew nuts makes it difficult for processors and exporters to estimate their costs. Procurement methods are impacted by abrupt changes in global supply brought on by bad weather or unstable political conditions. Currency risks increase cost instability in import-dependent nations. These swings inhibit long-term investment in the sector and lower profit margins. As a result, buyers and manufacturers could be reluctant to enter new markets or expand their operations.
Growing awareness about the health benefits of cashew kernels
A popular option for consumers who are concerned about their health, cashew kernels are high in vital elements like protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Demand has increased as a result of consumers looking for better snack options due to the rising incidence of lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. Consumer tastes are also influenced by increased media attention and marketing initiatives emphasising cashews' nutritional benefits. Additionally, eating cashews is becoming more and more advised by dieticians and fitness enthusiasts as part of a balanced diet. The global cashew kernel market is still growing as a result of this change in consumer behaviour.
Competition from alternative nuts
Cost-conscious customers are drawn to these alternatives because they frequently provide comparable nutritional advantages at cheaper costs. Additionally, producers of alternate nuts increase their exposure and attractiveness through vigorous marketing. The competitive scene is becoming more intense as the demand for a variety of nut options is further fuelled by the growing popularity of plant-based diets. Customers may choose less expensive options in areas with high cashew production prices. Consequently, price sensitivity and changing preferences may impede the expansion of cashew kernel sales.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the global cashew kernel market, affecting both supply and demand dynamics. Lockdowns and travel restrictions led to a decline in raw cashew nut (RCN) prices due to reduced processing activities in major hubs like India and Vietnam. In India, the cashew industry faced labour shortages, factory closures, and logistical challenges, leading to a 26.8% drop in exports. Conversely, domestic consumption increased as consumers turned to healthy snacks, partially offsetting export losses. In Africa, particularly Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire, border closures and limited processing capacity resulted in a 50% reduction in producer incomes. Despite these challenges, the pandemic underscored the importance of local processing and value addition in the cashew industry.
The white whole cashew kernels (WW) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The white whole cashew kernels (WW) segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to its high visual appeal and premium quality. These kernels are widely preferred in retail and gourmet snack applications, driving strong consumer demand. Their uniform size, pristine appearance, and minimal breakage make them ideal for high-end packaging and international export. Food processors and confectionery manufacturers also favor WW kernels for their consistent texture and flavor. The rising health-conscious population is boosting demand for nutritious, ready-to-eat snacks like WW cashews. As a result, this segment commands higher prices and contributes substantially to overall market growth.
The food industry segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the food industry segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to consistent demand for cashew-based ingredients in snacks, confectionery, and bakery products. Cashew kernels are increasingly used in health-conscious recipes and plant-based food alternatives. Their rich nutritional profile makes them popular in energy bars, dairy substitutes, and vegan dishes. Food manufacturers value cashews for their versatility, flavor, and texture, enhancing the appeal of processed and gourmet foods. Rising consumer preferences for clean-label and protein-rich products further fuel this trend. As a result, the food industry remains a key growth engine for the global cashew kernel market.
During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share due to abundant local production, rising disposable incomes, and evolving dietary preferences. Countries like India and Vietnam lead in both cultivation and export, with strong domestic consumption adding to demand. Cashew kernels are increasingly used in snacks, confectionery, and traditional cuisines. Government support for agro-processing industries and rising health consciousness among urban consumers further propel market growth. The presence of large processing clusters makes this region a pivotal hub in the global cashew value chain.
Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to rising consumer demand for plant-based snacks and healthy protein alternatives. Increasing awareness about heart health and clean-label food products has boosted the popularity of cashews in retail and foodservice sectors. The U.S. dominates regional demand, supported by strong distribution networks and innovation in nut-based products. Additionally, the growing vegan and flexitarian population is accelerating market expansion. However, high import dependence may pose supply chain challenges.
