Rising Consumer Interest in Fitness to Drive the Global Peanut Butter Market

Hormel Foods Corporation, The J.M. Smucker Co., Post Holdings, Inc., Sonya Foods Pvt. Ltd., and H.J. Heinz Company Brands LLC (KRAFT Foods), among others, are the major players in the global market for peanut butter.

As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the global peanut butter market is estimated to grow during the forecast period of 2018-2022 at a CAGR of 6.1%.

Peanut butter is a spread or food paste generated mainly from ground dry roasted peanuts. It is extensively consumed for its taste and nutritional value. Owing to the presence of monounsaturated fat, it is good for health in various ways such as aiding in lowering LDL cholesterol levels.

It is a standard alternative to milk butter. It usually includes extra ingredients that change the texture or taste, like salt, emulsifiers, or sweeteners. The high consumption of peanut butter is due to the nutritional benefits as peanut butter consists of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins, further influencing the consumer demand for peanut butter globally.

The rising adoption of health-boosting products along with growing awareness regarding health benefits as well as surging consumer interest in fitness and weight management are expected to aid the peanut butter market growth. Further, the increasing trends of vegetarianism and veganism are also expected to prove beneficial for market growth as peanut butter is a useful source of protein for vegans.

Moreover, since peanut butter is a rich source of protein, it is also influencing its demand among fitness enthusiasts as a pre-and post-workout supplement. The increasing cases of obesity are further encouraging the demand for innovative and low-calorie peanut butter variants to serve as a healthy breakfast solution.
