Adoption of Automated Nut Processing Equipment
Driver
Rising Demand for Value-Added Nut Products
Restraint/Challenge
High Cost of Advanced Machinery
The market is segmented on the basis of product type, nut type, operation mode, application, finished product, and distribution channel.
On the basis of product type, the nut processing equipment market is segmented into conveyors, cleaning equipment, drying equipment, sorting equipment, shelling equipment, dehulling equipment, separating equipment, calibrating equipment, cutting equipment, grading equipment, roasting equipment, coating/seasoning equipment, packaging equipment, and others. The shelling equipment segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2024, attributed to the growing demand for high-efficiency machinery that ensures precision in removing shells while minimizing nut breakage. Shelling equipment plays a crucial role in maintaining nut integrity and enhancing processing yields, especially in high-volume production environments. Its popularity is reinforced by the rising automation of nut processing facilities and advancements in sensor-based shelling technology that optimize throughput and product quality.
The roasting equipment segment is projected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, driven by the rising demand for value-added nut products and increasing consumer preference for roasted snacks. Roasting enhances flavor, texture, and shelf life, encouraging nut processors to adopt advanced, energy-efficient roasting systems with precise temperature control. Growing demand from snack manufacturers and the expansion of flavored nut varieties are further fueling the adoption of roasting machinery across both small-scale and industrial setups.
On the basis of nut type, the market is segmented into almond, walnut, pistachio, peanut, pecan, hazelnut, cashew, and others. The peanut segment dominated the market in 2024, supported by its large-scale production, affordability, and versatile use in snacks, spreads, and confectionery products. Peanut processing requires a range of equipment—from shelling to roasting and coating—making it the most commercially significant category. Its dominance is also underpinned by strong export demand and large consumption across emerging markets.
The almond segment is anticipated to record the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2032, driven by increasing global consumption of almond-based products in dairy alternatives, bakery items, and health snacks. Rising health awareness and the growth of vegan and plant-based diets have expanded almond product applications, prompting processors to invest in advanced equipment for shelling, slicing, and roasting to meet quality and safety standards.
On the basis of operation mode, the market is divided into automatic and semi-automatic. The automatic segment dominated the market with the largest share of 57.8% in 2024, owing to the industry’s shift toward fully integrated, high-capacity systems that reduce labor costs and improve consistency. Automatic nut processing lines enhance production speed, minimize human error, and ensure better hygiene control, aligning with food safety regulations. Their deployment is expanding among large-scale producers seeking scalability and precision in multi-step processing.
The semi-automatic segment is projected to witness the fastest growth from 2025 to 2032, driven by rising adoption among small and medium enterprises due to cost efficiency and ease of maintenance. These systems offer flexibility for producers processing multiple nut types and batch sizes, making them ideal for developing regions where full automation remains cost-prohibitive.
On the basis of application, the nut processing equipment market is segmented into cleaning, roasting, shelling, cracking, drying, separating, cutting, grading, coating/seasoning, packaging, and others. The shelling application dominated the market in 2024, primarily due to its critical role in maintaining nut quality and efficiency during large-scale processing. Modern shelling machines integrate automated sensors to ensure uniform separation and minimal kernel loss, which enhances overall profitability for processors.
The roasting application is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, supported by increasing consumer demand for ready-to-eat and flavored nut products. Continuous roasting systems with real-time temperature monitoring and energy-saving designs are gaining popularity among snack manufacturers seeking consistent quality and reduced operational costs.
On the basis of finished product, the market is segmented into roasted, granular, and pasty. The roasted segment dominated the market in 2024, driven by strong consumer preference for roasted nuts due to their enhanced taste, aroma, and nutritional appeal. The expansion of snack food industries and retail brands offering roasted nut mixes has further boosted demand for efficient roasting and flavoring equipment.
The pasty segment is projected to register the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, fueled by the rising consumption of nut-based spreads such as peanut butter, almond butter, and hazelnut pastes. Growing demand for plant-based and protein-rich spreads has encouraged manufacturers to invest in high-performance grinding and mixing equipment that ensure smooth texture and consistent quality.
On the basis of distribution channel, the market is segmented into direct and retail. The direct segment held the largest market share in 2024, attributed to manufacturers’ preference for direct sales to industrial food processors and snack producers, ensuring bulk transactions and long-term supply partnerships. Direct distribution enables better control over pricing, customization, and after-sales service, which are vital for large-scale buyers.
The retail segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2032, driven by the rising availability of compact nut processing machines for small businesses, cafes, and artisanal producers. Increasing e-commerce penetration and the growth of specialized equipment suppliers online are supporting retail channel expansion globally.
