Flour or powder of fruits and nuts market in Americas

Earlier Report Observations

The market for flour or powder of fruits and nuts in the Americas expanded from 21 311 t in 2018 to 25 937 t in 2020. This growth was primarily driven by rising consumer awareness towards gluten-free products and a broader shift towards healthier, plant-based ingredients. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 accelerated this trend as travel restrictions and increased time at home boosted e-commerce purchases of flour for home cooking and baking.

Market volume continued to increase, reaching 27 743 t by 2022. Major companies like Archer Daniels Midland expanded their pulse processing footprint through acquisitions, enhancing the availability of specialty flours. Simultaneously, growing consumer demand for functional, nutrient-dense flours and the introduction of innovative products, such as patented gluten-free offerings based on millet, supported market expansion.

In 2023, the market experienced a slight contraction to 26 945 t. Despite continued growth in specialized segments like organic sprouted flour and ongoing innovation from food-tech startups using sustainable ingredients, the overall market size dipped. The period also saw product launches such as new pasteurized nut and dried fruit products in India, reflecting sustained consumer interest in safe and healthy snack options.
