Between 2024 and 2028, the forecasted value of shelled almond imports to the US shows a consistent upward trend, with a steady increase each year. This trajectory reflects anticipated growth in domestic demand for almonds. Compared to 2023 levels, the year-over-year growth is predicted to average approximately 3.4% annually over the next five years, signifying robust market expansion for almonds in the US.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of climate change and water scarcity on almond production globally, particularly in California, one of the leading suppliers.
Fluctuations in international trade policies and tariffs, which might affect import prices and volumes.
Changes in consumer preferences towards healthier snacking options influencing almond demand.
