As per the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Couscous Market Report by Thickness (Fine Couscous, Medium Couscous, Thick Couscous), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Independent Retailers, Convenience Stores, Specialty Stores, Online, and Others), and Region 2025-2033," the global couscous market size reached USD 34.2 Billion in 2024. Couscous is a traditional ingredient made from semolina, which is a coarse flour made from durum wheat. It is popularly served with a variety of vegetables and meats. Couscous is a good source of protein and complex carbohydrates and is low in fat and glycemic index, making it a perfect food for losing weight or managing blood sugar levels. Some other positive health attributes of couscous include lowering cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease. Couscous is also a good source of iron, magnesium, and phosphorus, which are essential for muscle and tissue repair, bone strengthening, healthy body weight maintenance, improved digestion, blood sugar level regulation, and reduced inflammation. When compared to other grains, such as rice, it has a much shorter cooking time and a neutral flavor. Currently, there are different types of product variants available, including Moroccan, Israeli, and Lebanese.
Global Couscous Market Trends:
The global market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing health consciousness among consumers and the surging demand for versatile and low-fat products, such as couscous.
