Peanuts are crops used in the manufacture of peanut oils and spreads for use in hotels, restaurants, and home use. The insolubility of peanuts has restricted its use in the food & beverage industry. However, health benefits and presence of isoflavones has increased its need. The global peanuts market report by Market Research Future (MRFR) touches on the production and supply chain, impact on farmers, and the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic for the period of 2022 to 2030 (forecast period).

Competition Outlook

Archer Daniels Midland, Diamond Foods, Inc., Hampton Farms, Inc, Star Snacks Co., LLC, Kraft Foods Inc., Olam International, and Virginia Diner are key players of the global peanuts market.

Market Scope

The global peanuts industryis majorly driven by the use of the crop in manufacture of peanut flour and peanut oils. Its consumption as accompaniment snacks during drinking hours in certain countries can fuel market demand. The shift in the mood of consumers towards healthy eating habits is likely to increase the demand for peanuts. This can be credited to its high nutritional value and its popularity. Large demand for monounsaturated fatty acids in oils can fuel the import and export of peanuts leading to a steady trickle of revenue for the market.

Health benefits of the consumption of peanuts such as protecting the heart at high altitudes. The high level of antioxidants and isoflavones as well as their relations to low probabilities of cardiovascular sickness can bode well for sales in the global peanuts market.
