Market Overview:

The Europe chia seeds market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.5% during 2022-2027.

Chia seeds are the edible seeds that are obtained from the Salvia Hispanica plant. These seeds are primarily available in the form of oil, powder, whole grain, or milled/ground chia. Chia seeds contain a high amount of omega-3 fatty acids and proteins that help in maintaining good heart health, lowering blood sugar levels, boosting metabolism, improving digestion, etc. As a result, these seeds are widely used in functional foods and beverages, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, personal care items, cosmetics, etc.

In Europe, the increasing consumer health concerns towards the high prevalence of several lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular ailments, etc., are driving the consumption of chia seeds. Furthermore, the growing popularity of nutritional grains and multi-cereal-based products owing to their numerous health benefits, easy storage, and minimal preparation time, is also propelling the market growth. Additionally, the rising utilization of chia seeds in various snacks, baked goods, healthy beverages, and seed mixes, is further catalyzing the product demand in the region. Moreover, the growing consumer health consciousness is also propelling the need for gluten-free, organic, and low-calorie food ingredients, including chia seeds. Apart from this, the increasing awareness towards numerous skin benefits of chia seeds in preventing premature skin aging and inflammation is further driving their usage in natural skincare products. In the coming years, the changing consumer preferences from a meat-based diet towards vegan alternatives will further continue to drive the market for chia seeds in Europe.
