Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 459 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% during 2025-2033. The growing awareness of health and wellness among Indian consumers, the expanding use of walnut oil in India's thriving cosmetics industry, and the rising shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly consumption represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Walnut is a nutrient-rich nut known for its flavorful taste and health-promoting characteristics. It originates from the tree of the genus Juglans, which belongs to the family Juglandaceae. The tree produces a hard-shelled nut enveloped within a green husk: the walnut. This nut is recognized globally for its high nutritional value, with a rich profile of proteins, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, it is a key ingredient in various culinary dishes and is also consumed in its raw form as a healthy snack. Its oil, obtained by pressing walnuts, is widely used for cooking, cosmetics, and medicinal purposes. Moreover, the wood of the walnut tree has an esteemed place in furniture manufacturing due to its superior quality and rich, dark color. From a business standpoint, the walnut represents a high-value commodity that integrates several sectors, including food and beverage, cosmetics, healthcare, and woodworking industries.

India Walnut Market Trends:

In recent years, the India walnut market has seen significant growth, fueled by the escalating awareness of health and wellness among Indian consumers. This is leading to a rise in the consumption of nutritious food products, including walnuts. These nuts, rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fats, align perfectly with the growing demand for functional foods that promote health and prevent diseases. Along with this, the culinary versatility of walnuts, used in a variety of Indian dishes, from sweets to savory, further enhances their popularity. Another major driver is the expanding use of walnut oil in India's thriving cosmetics industry. With its hydrating and anti-aging properties, walnut oil is gaining prominence in skincare and haircare products, bolstering the walnut market growth.
