A recently published report shows that increasing consumer demand for healthy snacks, rising awareness of nutritional benefits, and the growing popularity of plant-based diets drive the market expansion of dry fruits in the U.S.
The market is forecast to reach an estimated US$4.89 billion by 2033, compared to US$3.14 billion in 2024. This growth signifies a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate of 5.08% from 2025 to 2033.
Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews, raisins, apricots, and dates are among the most popular dry fruits. These fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.
Dry fruits are increasingly popular in the USA as convenient and healthy snacks because of their numerous health benefits. These include boosting heart health by lowering cholesterol, improving digestion due to their high fiber content, and supporting weight management by promoting satiety.
Due to their easy-to-eat format and packaging, dry fruits are becoming increasingly popular among American consumers. They are drawn to their convenience, portability, and ability to provide sustained energy.
Dry fruits are widely embraced in fitness circles for boosting energy and aiding post-workout recovery, making them a staple in health-conscious households.
According to the report, the shift toward plant-based eating is another key growth driver in the dry fruits market. Many consumers opt for vegetarian or vegan diets, increasing the demand for plant-derived nutrient sources. They are often used as meat substitutes in recipes or as an energy-dense snack.
The report also notes that the rise of e-commerce platforms has revolutionized the U.S.’s dry fruit market. Consumers now have easy access to a diverse range of dry fruit products, including organic, flavored, and exotic varieties, with the convenience of doorstep delivery.
Online platforms often provide detailed product information, reviews, and competitive pricing, encouraging informed purchasing decisions. Subscription services and bulk-buying options have also made it easier for consumers to integrate dry fruits into their daily diets.
As e-commerce grows, it is expected further to increase the sales and visibility of dry fruits nationwide.
VACAVILLE, Calif. — Mariani Packing Company, the world’s largest independent family-owned producer of dried fruit, announced they are continuing their rich history of innovation by launching new Probiotic Single-Serve Packs. Based on the success of their best-selling Probiotic Dried Fruit line and consumer demand for on-the-go packaging, the new Probiotic Single-Serve Packs will come in a weekly 7-day supply carton, in two fruit varieties: Probiotic Apricots and Probiotic Prunes, in 1.4 oz each pack.
Mariani’s dried apricots and dried prunes contain soluble fiber, acting as a prebiotic, that may be a fuel source for probiotics to thrive. They are also naturally sweet, with no sugar added, and a good source of antioxidant vitamins A and E, vitamins B6, B12, potassium, and iron.
The GanedenBC30® probiotic active cultures in Mariani’s Probiotic Apricots and Probiotic Prunes are 10x more effective than yogurt cultures in surviving the transit through the harsh stomach environment into the gut.
