Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2019, the market volume for prepared or preserved groundnuts in Europe expanded significantly, driven by sustained consumer demand for healthy snacks and plant-based protein sources. This trend supported higher physical consumption, even as market value saw a slight dip. The market dynamics shifted sharply in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread disruptions to supply chains and production, leading to a contraction in both volume and value despite resilient demand for shelf-stable food products like peanut-based snacks.

A post-pandemic recovery began in 2021, with market volume and value rebounding as operations normalized and the trend toward sustainable, plant-based consumption continued. However, 2022 saw a substantial decline in market volume, which contrasted with the previous year's growth. By 2023, the market returned to growth, supported by product innovation in nut mixes and a stronger consumer preference for clean-label offerings without additives.

In 2024, imports of prepared groundnuts into Europe fell sharply, continuing a trend of adjusting trade flows. The market remained influenced by underlying consumer trends favoring protein-rich, healthy snacks and sustainable packaging, which have shaped demand throughout the period.
