Global Macadamia sales increased at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2019 to 2023. For the next ten years (2024 to 2034), projections are that expenditure on Macadamia will rise at 8.1% forecast CAGR.
These other regions including Kenya, South Africa, and Hawaii have become main players in terms of production over time. The expansion has been a result of increased worldwide demand for nutritious and premium nuts since macadamias are known to possess great taste along with dietary benefits.
Initially, one major challenge facing farmers is low production levels coupled with pest attacks or disease outbreaks leading to cyclic market prices. However, certain agricultural practices have changed while others like pest control mechanisms found solutions to some problems associated with this sub-sector so far.
Similarly, new varieties were developed supplemented by improved farming practices which resulted in greater yields and better quality crops such as macadamias.
The future prospects of the global macadamia industry look bright, however. Macadamias are an excellent source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals and hence this will drive their demand which is expected to increase due to increased consumer awareness of health and wellness.
Moreover, with plant-based diets becoming popular, macadamias have become highly sought-after as ingredients in various food items including snacks, desserts as well as dairy substitutes among others. This is because Chinese markets in Asia are expanding rapidly and they offer very good opportunities for quality nuts.
The sector's attractiveness to consumers who care about environmental sustainability is projected to grow with investments made towards sustainable farming practices and certifications.
The macadamia industry is a relatively fragmented one. In other words, instead of a few dominant players in the market, many small and medium-sized entities are active. In essence, in a fragmentation market, no one firm can significantly determine the course of the industry or influence pricing.
The macadamia industry consists of both multinational companies as well as regional ones. Nevertheless, the macadamia industry tends to be dominated by regional producers rather than MNCs. For example, Australia, South Africa, and Kenya have numerous local farmers' organizations and cooperatives that grow Macadamias.
Such regional actors usually focus on specific markets with strong local ties. There are also notable MNCs that have been established in this sector. Unlike others, Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Corporation, which is located in United States, and MacFarms, situated in Australia have considerable resources and wider reach.
Such big firms can compete profitably across the globe through economies of scale, the use of advanced technology as well as extensive distribution networks.
Market concentration refers to how much control a few firms have over a particular market. In a highly concentrated market, just a few large corporations command significant parts of shares whereas less competition may make final buyers pay for higher prices.
On the other hand, low-concentration or fragmented markets consist of many small players thereby fostering competition hence resulting in competitive pricing and more innovative outcomes. More so; the majority are regional players as MNCs also play some roles within such an environment making the macadamia sector fragmented.
This enhances diversity and stimulates competition among different actors operating within this particular marketplace.
