Abstract
About this report
The nuts and dried fruit market hasn’t had to suffer the ups and downs, image-wise, that other snack foods have. Long accepted as genuinely healthy snack foods, the market has survived as Americans move from one diet trend to the next, and even thrived at the height of the low-carb diet.
This report addresses issues of key concern to manufacturers, marketers, and distributors of nuts and dried fruit, including:
- How the economy is driving consumers to less expensive private label products, and possibly pricing some out of the market completely
- How growing interest in healthful eating and snacking has driven sales, and what more can be done
- How, even though consumers are generally aware of the health benefits of nuts and dried fruit, better education on the specific health benefits is necessary
- How new product innovation has made the market more accessible to younger consumers
- How the market has capitalized on leading food trends, including portion control, and highlighting natural functional traits like omega-3s and antioxidants, and where opportunities for further growth exist
- In a market where there is something for everyone, which products appeal to which consumers
- How the rapidly growing Hispanic population creates a unique opportunity for the market to appeal to a young target market
