Nuts are healthy snacks to consume in their raw or roasted form. The easy-to-use nature, multiple applications in culinary dishes, and high nutritional value of nuts provide them more demand. These nuts are considered comfort food by consumers as they have nutritional benefits. Nuts contain monosaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and trace metals, such as selenium, calcium, iron, and phosphorus. These ingredients help maintain the health and well-being of consumers. Nuts are widely consumed in Saudi Arabia owing to their multiple health benefits.

For instance,

• According to the published article by Researchgate, in a household survey conducted, the mean daily consumption of nuts in average adults was 0.4 g/day in Saudi Arabia

Moreover, owing to its demand and consumption, the imports of nuts in the country are also rising. Saudi Arabia is a major importer of nuts such as almonds, cashews, and pistachios, among others worldwide. The nuts are widely consumed and imported into Saudi Arabia.

Thus, nuts' nutritional benefits enable consumers to prefer nuts and consume them in their regular diets. This change in consumer preference for nuts in Saudi Arabia is expected to drive the growth of the nuts market.

• Increasing Demand For Nuts As A Meat Alternative

Vegetarian food is more suitable owing to its health benefits. Consumers are more concerned regarding food content such as low cholesterol and calories.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Increasing obesity due to higher lipid contents in nuts

Consumption of nuts more than three or five times in a single day can provide 875 calories. Consuming this many nuts daily will result in an excessive intake of calories and weight gain. Although nuts are a rich source of fatty acids that are better for the consumer's heart in moderation, their saturated fat content and excessive consumption boost harmful low-density lipoprotein levels.

For instance,

• According to MyFitnessPal, Inc., ¼ cup of nuts has approximately 170 calories. To burn these many calories, a person needs extensive workouts such as cycling, walking, or other physical exercises

In addition, some are concerned that nuts' high-fat, high-energy content may lead to weight gain. However, nuts are a good source of protein and dietary fiber, which are thought to improve satiety. Therefore, it is critical to ascertain the relationship between nut consumption, long-term weight change, and disease risk. Numerous cross-sectional studies have revealed a negative correlation between increased nut consumption and decreased body weight. Furthermore, increasing nut consumption was linked to slower weight growth over quite lengthy periods, according to many independent prospective studies concluded in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) research publication.

Moreover, in today's world, the chances of getting obese are higher than at other times. In Saudi Arabia, there are numerous cases in which people have been considered obese. Thus this increasing trend of obesity can make people aware of their health and lifestyle-associated concerns.

The lifestyle of developed countries such as Saudi Arabia has transformed due to lockdown, isolation, quarantine, and work-from-home policies. As a result, the prevalence of the obesity problem has increased, and many health-conscious individuals are steering clear of snacks with a high-fat content, which may impact the demand for nuts. Because of their greater fatty contents, nuts are linked to obesity disorders, which could impede the expansion of the Saudi Arabia nuts market. Thus, these increasing trends of obesity and future planning concerning the mass health of Saudi Arabia can restrain the Saudi Arabia nuts market in the forecast period, as overconsumption of nuts can lead to obesity.

Furthermore, the demand for nuts as healthy snack alternative after the COVID-19 pandemic has increased as there is rising awareness about the health benefits and high demand resulted in market growth. Additionally, consumers' interest in nuts and research development is expected to fuel the growth of the Saudi Arabia nuts market.
