Chicory Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.72% through 2029

The global chicory market is growing due to rising demand for caffeine-free alternatives, health benefits associated with prebiotics, and increased use in the food, beverage, and dietary supplement industries.

According to TechSci Research report, “Chicory Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2029F”, the global Chicory market stood at USD 664.01 million in 2023 and is expected to grow USD 977.43 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 6.72% during the forecast period. The global chicory market is experiencing steady growth, driven by its increasing use in food and beverages, particularly as a caffeine-free coffee substitute. Known for its health benefits, such as high inulin content supporting digestive health, chicory is also gaining traction in personal care and cosmetics. Rising health awareness and the shift toward natural, plant-based ingredients further propel demand, especially in regions like Asia Pacific and North America. As consumer interest in wellness products grows, chicory’s applications across functional foods and dietary supplements are expanding, strengthening its position in the global market.

Advances in chicory farming, processing, and extraction technologies are further driving growth in the chicory market. With inulin extraction and chicory cultivation becoming more efficient, the production of chicory-based products is scaling up, reducing costs and making chicory products more accessible to consumers globally. Companies are investing in improved extraction techniques to enhance the purity and quality of inulin derived from chicory root, catering to industries that require high-quality ingredients for specialty health and functional foods.

In addition, sustainable farming practices are being adopted in chicory cultivation, aligning with the growing consumer preference for eco-friendly and responsibly sourced ingredients. Innovations in crop breeding have also led to chicory varieties with higher inulin content, which enhances yields and reduces the land area required for cultivation. As the industry focuses on improving yields and sustainability, these advances help to stabilize prices and ensure the consistent availability of chicory ingredients for manufacturers across multiple sectors.

The growing demand for functional and health-oriented ingredients has led to the rise of several alternative options that compete with chicory. Ingredients such as psyllium husk, flaxseed, chia seeds, and other sources of dietary fiber and prebiotics are increasingly popular among consumers looking for digestive health benefits. These alternatives are often widely available, versatile, and can be incorporated into a range of products, making them strong competitors to chicory.

“The demand for chicory as a coffee substitute is on the rise, as more consumers seek caffeine-free alternatives without compromising on taste. Chicory coffee, which mimics the rich, roasted flavor of regular coffee, is becoming a preferred choice for those looking to reduce their caffeine intake or avoid caffeine altogether. Health-conscious consumers are increasingly aware of the side effects of caffeine, such as sleep disturbances, anxiety, and digestive issues, and are exploring non-caffeinated options.
