Future Market Insights (FMI) has projected sales of chia seeds to accelerate at a 6.80% CAGR, reaching US$ 194.1 Mn in 2021. Increasing applications of chia seeds in nutrition and dietary supplements, along with growing demand for organic ingredients in food and beverages is expected to drive the market in the forthcoming years.
Sales of chia seeds were dampened to an extent due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. Chia seeds are exported to various countries, and the lockdown restrictions imposed to curb the virus affected trade and import/export activities across the globe, resulting in drop in sales of chia seeds.
However, the pandemic has resulted in higher awareness regarding the incorporation of healthier ingredients in packaged food products. This is expected to propel sales of chia seeds year-over-year by 5.50% between 2020 and 2021. As per FMI, the total consumption of chia seeds is expected to top 80,579.7 Million Tons by 2031.
Chia seeds are gaining popularity as ‘superfoods’ for their functional health benefits in improving heart health, supporting bone health, and managing blood sugar levels. Growing preference for healthy packaged food and drink products will continue propelling sales over the assessment period.
The U.S. is anticipated to emerge as a lucrative pocket in the North America chia seeds market, owing to the presence of robust food & beverages and personal care products industries. In addition to this, consumers are actively adopting vegan and gluten-free diets, which is compelling manufacturers to launch non-GMO and innovative chia seeds products. These developments are expected to bode well for the U.S. chia seeds market through 2031.
“Increasing applications of chia seeds in animal feed and pet food to improve the nutrient quality of pet food is expected to push sales in the market. Besides this, manufacturers are launching new variants of chia seeds such as chia milk, oils, and gels, which is expected to augment the growth in the forthcoming years,” says an FMI analyst.
