The quinoa seeds market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of quinoa seeds has seen robust growth in the past few years. The market, which was valued at $1.15 billion in 2024, is projected to expand to $1.26 billion in 2025, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%.
This growth during the historical period can be linked to the high demand for healthy food products, altered consumer perspective towards wholesome grains, the surge in worldwide demand for superfoods, government assistance to native farmers, and the transition to diets rich in protein.
The quinoa seeds market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of quinoa seeds is projected to experience substantial growth in the upcoming years, expanding to $1.77 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%.
This projected growth within the forecast period can be related to the rise in quinoa crop productivity, increased demand for food products free from gluten, the boost in intake of nutrient-rich foods, elevated consumer inclination towards natural products, as well as heightened awareness surrounding health and environmental factors. Key trends within the forecast period involve the growth of cultivation territories, gluten-free substitutes, advanced processing methods, product variety enhancement, and betterment of supply chain infrastructure.
The burgeoning need for organic food items is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the quinoa seed market in the future. Organic food products, including those cultivated without the usage of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, genetically engineered organisms (GMOs), antibiotics, or growth hormones, are becoming progressively popular. This is largely due to an amplified understanding among consumers about the health advantages they offer, along with increasing apprehension regarding environmental conservation. Quinoa, with its high nutrient content, comprehensive protein structure, and adaptability to various specific diets such as gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian, holds a prominent place in the realm of organic products. For instance, in the words of the Organic Trade Association, a US-based business group focusing on the organic sector, organic beverages accounted for $9 billion in sales, marking a 4% increase in 2022, while organic coffee sales saw a notable surge of almost 7%, amounting to around $2.3 billion in May 2023. Consequently, the escalating demand for organic food items is fueling the rise of the quinoa seed market.
