This analysis presents an overview of the global peanut market, highlighting key trends and significant data from 2020 onwards. Peanuts, which are legumes rather than true nuts, are mainly produced in China and India, with these two countries accounting for more than half of global production. Global peanut production, including oil and peanuts, has shown a stable trend, with a slight increase over the years. French peanut consumption has increased significantly, reflecting a broader European trend of rising demand coupled with significant import dependence due to limited domestic production.
Peanut-based products, such as peanut oil and peanut butter, are gaining in popularity in various markets, including France, where peanut butter is capturing a share of the spread market. Internationally, France's peanut trade is characterized by a high import/export ratio. The peanut market is also facing new challenges and dynamics, such as the increasing prevalence of peanut allergies in France, growing consumer awareness of healthy diets and the trend towards organic products. Despite these challenges, the peanut market remains robust, thanks in part to the cultural importance of peanuts as a favorite snack, particularly during aperitifs in France.
Exploring the evolving appetite for peanuts in France
As the French population becomes increasingly health-conscious and discovers the nutritional benefits of various foods, demand for peanuts is on the rise. Native to South America, peanuts are not true nuts, but belong to the dried fruit and nut family. They are eaten in many forms: raw, in oil or butter, roasted or salted, each with its own place in the French diet. In particular, peanut consumption in France has doubled, indicating a booming market.
However, the country is heavily dependent on imports, with local production playing a negligible role. France relies heavily on countries such as Argentina, the USA and the Netherlands for its peanut supplies, with imports from the former accounting for around a third of its total imports. The French habit of snacking, in particular on peanuts, is particularly significant and finds its relevance during the aperitif - a social cultural practice in which over 45% of the population takes part at least once a week. Peanuts, traditionally consumed as a salty snack, are undergoing a transformation, with trends moving towards less added salt and fat to meet demand for healthier options.
The dried fruit market, which includes peanuts, has expanded over the years, estimated at around 480 million euros. Among the various dried fruits, peanuts have enjoyed a high preference, but consumer tastes are now diversifying.consumers' tastes are now diversifying, with other dried fruits seeing an increase in consumption, while peanuts are experiencing a slight decline. The market for peanut oil, another important branch of peanut consumption, remains stable, being mainly used for frying due to its resistance to high temperatures. The price of oil is high, averaging around 3.55 euros per liter in France.
Despite the positive trends described above, allergies to peanuts and peanut products are increasing in the country, becoming an emerging health problem. In France, around 3% of the general population and 8% of children are said to be allergic to peanuts, requiring peanut products to clearly indicate allergens on their packaging. What's more, with organic food consumption on the rise, estimated to be growing at around 13.5%, organic peanuts could offer a new route to market, aligning with the trend towards more organic and authentic food choices.
In terms of market players, big names like Advens Group and Sonacos dominate the production side, while Skippy stands out in peanut butter distribution. Competition is increasingly fierce.
