The Europe walnut market size reached USD 2,190 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3,049 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% during 2025-2033. The growing number of health-conscious consumers seeking nutritious and wholesome food options, increasing awareness about the nutritional content and ingredients used in food products, and rising interest in sustainable and eco-friendly practices represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Walnuts are nutritious and delicious tree nuts derived from the Juglans genus of trees. They are well-known for their unique shape resembling the human brain, encased in a hard shell with a wrinkled, edible kernel inside. They are available in various types, such as the English walnut (Juglans regia) and the black walnut (Juglans nigra). These nuts are a rich source of essential nutrients like healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They provide polyunsaturated fat, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is an omega-3 fatty acid that supports heart health and brain function. They help reduce bad cholesterol levels and promote the health of blood vessels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Walnuts also offer omega-3 fatty acids that play a crucial role in supporting brain function and may enhance cognitive performance. Additionally, they contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help protect brain cells from damage, potentially reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline. Furthermore, the fiber content in walnuts help promote feelings of fullness, reducing overall calorie intake, thereby contributing to weight management. As walnuts also aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels, making them a valuable addition to a diabetic-friendly diet, their consumption is rising in Europe.

Europe Walnut Market Trends:

At present, the growing awareness among the masses about the health benefits associated with walnuts represents one of the key factors positively influencing the market in Europe. In addition, consumers in Europe are becoming increasingly health-conscious, seeking nutritious and wholesome food options. Walnuts are recognized as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, all of which contribute to improved heart health, brain function, and overall well-being. As this awareness is continuously spreading, the demand for walnuts as a part of a healthy diet is rising in the region. Besides this, chefs and food enthusiasts in the region are experimenting with walnuts and including them in various dishes, both savory and sweet due to their culinary versatility, which is strengthening the growth of the market. In line with this, the increasing utilization of chopped walnuts in salads, pesto sauces, desserts, and baked goods to add distinctive flavor and crunchy texture is contributing to the growth of the market. Moreover, the increasing popularity of plant-based diets in Europe is significantly contributing to the market growth. With a rise in veganism, vegetarianism, and flexitarianism, walnuts are becoming an essential ingredient due to their protein content.
