The
global microgreens market is anticipated to witness an impressive growth in the
forecast period, 2023-2027. Young, tiny vegetable greens that are
few inches tall are referred to as microgreens. Microgreens are widely used to
enhance the color, flavor and texture of different food items including pasta,
pizza, salads, among others. Over the years, the popularity of microgreens has
significantly increased since they contain a wide range of antioxidants,
vitamins, and minerals. The growing awareness among population to maintain a
healthy lifestyle and balanced diet has significantly increased the demand of
microgreens, especially among the women population and youth.
Adoption of Indoor Farming Practices
The decreasing arable land
for growing crops, fruits & vegetables, among others has made the
agriculture industry shift to alternative farming techniques which can meet the
demands of ever-increasing global population and at the same time maintain the
yield, quality and nutritional profile of the produce. For instance, the
total area of land in United States (in 1,000 Acres) reduced to 8,95,300 in
2021 from 8,96,600 in 2020. This in turn has led to a drastic shift towards
indoor farming practices.
Microgreens are usually
grown under controlled conditions in a green house or a vertical farm. The
growing adoption of indoor farming techniques like green house and vertical
farms is expected to drive the growth of global microgreens market. Furthermore,
increasing adoption of other indoor farming techniques such as hydroponics,
aquaponics, aeroponics, among others is further expected to create lucrative
opportunities for the growth of microgreens market.
Increasing Demand from
Cosmetic & Personal Care Industry
Microgreens based oils and
microgreens-based ingredients are widely used to produce different cosmetic
& personal care industry products including shampoo, skin care products,
among others. Microgreens provide important antioxidants and vitamins required
to maintain a healthy skin. Microgreens such as sunflower, radish, broccoli,
kale, nasturtium, among others provide essential skin nutrients such as zinc,
vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin D, vitamin E, among others to the skin. This in
turn is expected to foster the growth of global microgreens market.
Sudden Outbreak & Spread
of Pandemic COVID-19
The sudden outbreak and
spread of pandemic COVID-19 have increased the health consciousness among the
population worldwide, thereby supporting the market growth. Microgreens are a
source of some important vitamins and antioxidants because of which their
demand has significantly increased after the COVID-19 outbreak. Although
microgreens are unable to treat COVID-19 but since they are a source of
vitamins and minerals hence, they are helpful in providing immunity to the
body, thereby helping in developing first line of defense against the virus.
This in turn is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of
global microgreens market in the coming years.
