Italy Hazelnut Milk Market to Grow at 9.7% CAGR, Driven by Cultural Affinity and Culinary Traditions | FMI

Hazelnut Milk Market

Demand for hazelnut milk in Italy is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%, positioning the country as one of the most promising markets for this product in Europe. The rise of the hazelnut milk sector in Italy is largely attributed to the country’s deep-rooted cultural connection to hazelnuts, which are a fundamental ingredient in traditional Italian cuisine, especially in desserts like Nutella.

This familiarity and fondness for hazelnuts have facilitated the smooth acceptance of hazelnut milk as a dairy alternative. Moreover, Italy’s rich agricultural heritage and commitment to high-quality ingredients bolster the local production of premium hazelnut milk.

The hazelnut milk market is estimated to be valued at USD 86 million in 2024. Global sales are anticipated to soar at a CAGR of 8.3% during the assessment period. By 2034, the market value is set to total USD 190 million.

As the adoption of vegan and flexitarian lifestyles continues to rise, the hazelnut milk market is experiencing significant growth, opening new avenues for investors. The increasing demand for plant-based diets is driving consumer interest in hazelnut milk, which is beneficial for both lactose-intolerant individuals and health-conscious consumers.

Hazelnut milk’s versatility and ability to combine with other flavors and food combinations are further endearing it to a wider audience. The market for hazelnut milk is also being propelled by the growing interest in functional beverages.

Health trends that emphasize the added functionality of food and drinks are boosting the popularity of hazelnut milk as a nutritious ingredient in various beverages. Consumers regard plant-based beverages as healthy and sustainable, leading to their increasing demand.

A notable trend in the hazelnut milk market is the expansion of online retail. Analysis of distribution channels reveals a significant shift towards e-commerce platforms, driven by consumer preference for convenience and a broader product selection.

Niche growth factors include the rising popularity of specialty coffee shops and artisanal beverage trends, where hazelnut milk is favored for its unique flavor profile. The organic and clean-label movement is further driving demand for premium, minimally processed versions of the product.

Innovations in functional ingredients, such as adaptogens and probiotics, appeal to health-focused consumers. Similarly, increasing prevalence of food allergies and intolerances boosts demand for nut-based milk alternatives.
