폭스넛 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형별, 유래별, 유통 채널별, 용도별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Fox Nuts Market is accounted for $48.6 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $97.8 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period. Fox nuts, also known as lotus seeds or makhana, are the edible seeds of the lotus flower plant, commonly found in India, China, and parts of Asia. These small, round seeds have a crisp texture and mild flavor, often used in both sweet and savory dishes. They are rich in protein, fiber, and various essential nutrients, making them a popular snack choice, particularly in vegetarian and vegan diets. Fox nuts are believed to have several health benefits, including aiding digestion, promoting weight loss, and supporting heart health. They are often roasted or popped and seasoned with various spices for added taste.

According to a report by the Indian National Agricultural Research System, Bihar produces more than 85% of the total fox nut production in India, and in recent years, prices of fox nuts have increased due to its increased demand in foreign as well as domestic markets.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growth in snack industry

Consumers increasingly seek healthier snack alternatives amidst rising health consciousness and concerns over lifestyle-related diseases. Fox nuts, being low in calories, high in protein and fiber, and gluten-free, align well with these preferences, positioning them as a desirable snack choice. Moreover, the evolving snacking habits of consumers, characterized by a shift towards lighter, nutritious, and functional snacks, create an opportune environment for fox nuts to flourish, further boosting demand for fox nuts.

Restraint:

High competition

The increasing number of players in the market has resulted in a crowded marketplace. With numerous brands offering similar products, it becomes challenging for individual companies to differentiate themselves and capture a significant market share. Consumers have a wide array of choices, and this can divert their attention away from fox nuts. Additionally, high competition leads to price wars and reduced profit margins, which hinders market expansion.

Opportunity:

Innovative product offerings

Innovative packaging designs also play a significant role in driving consumer engagement and convenience. By introducing innovative flavors, such as barbecue, cheese, or exotic spice blends, companies cater to diverse taste preferences, enticing consumers with unique and exciting snacking experiences. Furthermore, these formulations address specific dietary preferences and nutritional needs, propelling the market appeal to health-conscious consumers.

Threat:

Limited awareness

The lack of extensive marketing efforts and educational campaigns by manufacturers and retailers is one of the primary reasons for limited awareness. Compared to other snack options, fox nuts may not receive as much promotional attention, resulting in lower visibility and consumer interest. In addition, limited distribution channels and availability in mainstream supermarkets or convenience stores further contribute to low awareness levels, thereby hampering this market expansion.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative impacts on the Fox Nuts market, primarily due to disruptions in the supply chain, changes in consumer behavior, and economic uncertainties. One significant challenge faced by the industry is the disruption in logistics and transportation, leading to delays in the procurement of raw materials and distribution of finished products. Moreover, shifts in consumer preferences towards essential goods and staple foods during the pandemic have also impacted the Fox Nuts market negatively.

The processed segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The processed segment is estimated to hold the largest share due to increasing consumer awareness of their health benefits and rising demand for natural, nutrient-rich snacks. Processed segments within this market include roasted, flavored, and packaged fox nuts, catering to diverse consumer preferences and convenience needs. Furthermore, packaged fox nuts provide convenience and portability, making them ideal for on-the-go consumption, which is boosting this segment's expansion.

The dietary supplements are expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The dietary supplement is anticipated to have highest CAGR during the forecast period due to its rich nutritional profile and potential health benefits. Fox nuts are often consumed in various forms, including powdered supplements, capsules, and extracts. They are particularly appealing to those looking to address specific health concerns or nutritional deficiencies. In addition, fox nut supplements may be recommended for individuals following vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free diets as a natural source of essential nutrients, which significantly drive this segment's growth.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to a combination of cultural heritage, increasing health consciousness, and economic development. In countries such as India and China, where fox nuts are indigenous, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional foods and their health benefits. Additionally, the region's booming e-commerce sector has facilitated greater accessibility to fox nut products, allowing manufacturers to reach a wider consumer base beyond traditional retail channels, thereby driving this region's growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is expected to witness highest CAGR over the projection period, owing to shifting consumer preferences towards healthier snack options and the rising popularity of plant-based foods. This region is home to some of the major players, including Nutrava, NutraSnacks, and Fab Box, which are increasing awareness of their health-promoting properties. Moreover, the introduction of innovative flavors and packaging formats has expanded the appeal of fox nuts to a broader consumer base in Europe.
