The global microgreens market reached a value of US$ XX Million in 2020. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to grow at a CAGR of XX% during 2021-2026. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic.
Microgreens are seedlings and shoots of vegetables, grains, and herbs with edible stems, cotyledons, or seed leaves, and true leaves. They are very small in size and can be grown locally at home or in small commercial facilities and harvested using small-scale equipment. Microgreens have an intense aromatic flavor and are a rich source of various essential nutrients, such as antioxidants, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
They include numerous plant families and can be used for growing cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, dill, garlic, onion, amaranth, quinoa, beet, spinach, cucumber, and melon. In comparison to vegetable sprouts, the roots and seeds of microgreens are not consumed. Regular consumption of microgreens can aid in preventing chronic medical ailments, managing weight, enhancing immunity, and promoting mental well-being.
Microgreens Market Trends:
The increasing adoption of innovative vertical and indoor farming practices is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Consumers are increasingly adopting these environment-friendly hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics practices to enhance the yield and quality of value-rich crops and minimize the utilization of additional resources, such as nutrients, water, energy, and space.
Moreover, rising health consciousness among the masses is providing a thrust to the market growth. Microgreens exhibit anti-inflammatory properties that aid in minimizing the risks of developing cancer, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, hypertension, and high blood pressure. Additionally, the widespread product adoption in the manufacturing of cosmetic and personal care products with natural and organic ingredients and essential oils is acting as another growth-inducing factor.
Microgreens are also widely used as colorful and attractive garnishes on various food and beverages. Other factors, including the implementation of favorable government policies promoting sustainable agricultural practices, along with the increasing expenditure capacities of the consumers on premium, functional, and nutrient-rich food products, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
