Market Growth Factors

The German peanut butter market is driven by the increase in the consumption of natural and organic food products. Consumers in Germany prefer clean label peanut butter products with a few recognizable ingredients and no added sugars, hydrogenated oils, and preservatives. The trend of healthiness and high-quality nutrition is part of a broader trend of health and quality interest and transparency that is being led in part by smaller high quality producers committed to purity and quality, providing delicious and nutrient dense spreads.

High protein foods are in high demand. Thus peanut butter, as an easy-to-carry plant-based protein product, is well positioned in the Germany peanut butter market by sportspeople, fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious people. Protein is claimed to promote satiety, muscle development, and metabolism. Therefore, the daily consumption of peanut butter is promoted for breakfast, in smoothies, and as a snack. Food manufacturers market peanut butter as a high-protein food and a 'functional' product, and make fortified varieties for commercial markets with added protein, seeds, or fibers.

An additional development affecting market growth is the increasing availability of vegan and other plant-based products in Germany such as peanut butter, which is used in vegan and flexitarian meals. Peanut butter as a spread is a plant-based alternative to dairy- and egg-based alternatives, providing a vegan source of healthy fat and protein. Consumer demand for peanut butter as an ingredient in plant-based meals and snacks helps to drive product development in the growing vegan industry.
