Earlier Report Observations

The hazelnut market in Northern America expanded significantly from 2018 to 2023, with volume growing from 62 178 t to 102 805 t and value more than doubling from 355.0 million US dollars to 714.3 million US dollars. This growth occurred despite a temporary contraction in 2019 and a minor dip in 2022, indicating robust underlying demand.

Recent industry developments include Ferrero Hazelnut Company's $340,000 investment in U.S. research for disease-resistant hazelnut varieties and sustainable farming, aiming to reduce import reliance. Concurrently, Chosen Foods launched a new chocolate hazelnut spread with avocado oil and less sugar, directly targeting health-conscious consumers.

These moves reflect the market's response to sustained consumer trends favoring plant-based snacks, clean labels, and natural ingredients, which have been key drivers of hazelnut consumption growth throughout the period.
