Earlier Report Observations

The European almond market expanded from 824.4 thousand tons in 2018 to a peak of 947.2 thousand tons in 2021. This growth was primarily fueled by rising health consciousness and a shift toward plant-based diets, which increased demand for almonds in snacks and dairy alternatives. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 further accelerated consumption of plant-based products like almond milk, while investments such as the expansion of Olam Food Ingredients' processing facility in California aimed to bolster supply. Despite climatic challenges in key growing regions like California leading to higher costs in 2021, consumer interest in organic and sustainable almond products helped sustain market growth.

A sharp contraction occurred in 2022, with market volume falling to 742.1 thousand tons. This decline was driven by the implementation of EU Regulation 2018/848 on organic production, which altered compliance requirements for European almond marketing and supply. Simultaneously, soaring raw material prices due to climatic variability and geopolitical factors pressured the market. By 2023, the market stabilized at 750.9 thousand tons, indicating a partial recovery as the industry adjusted to the new regulatory and cost environment.
