Earlier Report Observations

The Israeli in-shell almonds market expanded significantly from 8 621 t in 2018 to a peak of 11 348 t in 2022. This growth was initially fueled by the entry of new players focusing on fresh, organic in-shell almonds imported directly for local stores, which widened product availability. Consumer preference for natural, shelf-stable almonds and heightened awareness of their health benefits, such as high calcium and vitamin E content, further supported demand.

Market volume surged by 22% to 10 520 t in 2019, driven by diversified uses of in-shell almonds in salads, homemade almond milk, and desserts. After a dip to 9 760 t in 2020, the market recovered to 10 318 t in 2021, largely due to rising demand for plant-based milk alternatives. Almond milk penetration reached 50% of Israeli households, and its use expanded in cafes, directly boosting almond consumption. The upward trend continued into 2022, reaching 11 348 t, supported by minimalist trends in plant-based dairy and the launch of innovative almond-based food products.

In 2023, the market volume adjusted to 10 880 t. Throughout the period, sustained trends in health-conscious and environmentally aware consumption, along with ongoing support for organic and fresh products, provided a stable foundation for almond demand, particularly for in-shell varieties and almond-based milk alternatives.
