Peanut Butter Became a Global Force, and India Emerged as Its Strongest Sourcing Hub In 2025, peanut butter quietly became one of the most dynamic categories in healthy snacking with steady volume growth. However, this forced brands to face hard truths and facts when it came to production, which is when global brands took the white labelling route, trusting peanut butter manufacturers in India to help bridge the gap between growing demand and the need for procuring quality peanut butter.

Structured collaboration ensures predictable capacity, transparency, and innovation support. Health-Led New Briefs Global peanut butter demand in 2025 continued to track broader healthy snacking and plant based trends, with the category forecast to grow steadily in the coming years. Nut butters and spreads benefited from their positioning as high protein, nutrient dense, and versatile ingredients, especially in markets where consumers were seeking convenient but “cleaner” snacks. Our all-natural peanut butter has been a hot favourite, earning a permanent spot as a healthy and wholesome breakfast spread across the globe. 2026 takeaway: When you design your peanut butter or nut based spread range for 2026, assume that the standard is now healthy, clean label, high protein, and sugar conscious products in your sourcing brief for Indian peanut butter manufacturers from day one. Compliance and Documentation Won the PO When it comes to importing peanut butter from a different country, compliance matters. In 2025, many of the most attractive export contracts for peanut butter were decided less on price per tonne and more on who could demonstrate credible, audit-ready compliance, especially for markets such as the EU, US and GCC, where regulatory compliance is a mandate. 2026 takeaway: When running RFPs or onboarding a new peanut butter supplier in India, treat certifications and documentation as gatekeepers; shortlist only those manufacturers who meet your top market requirements before you even discuss price.
