Hemp-Based Food Market Trends:

Increasing Health and Wellness Awareness

As per the IMARC Group research report, the health and wellness market was US$ 3,670.4 Billion in 2023 across the globe. The growing awareness about health and wellness represents one of the key factors influencing the market positively. Additionally, the market is growing due to the general public's increasing health consciousness about the significance of the nutritional content of the food items they consume. Food items that are derived from hemp such hemp oil and seeds have high levels of protein, vitamins, and important nutrients like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Besides this, the industry is expanding because of the rising popularity of vegetarianism and veganism diets. People are preferring plant-based protein sources and functional food items. Furthermore, rising preferences for natural and organic products are catalyzing the hemp-based food demand.

Expansion of Legalization and Regulation

The legalization of hemp cultivation and the relaxation of regulations about hemp-derived products shows another growth-inducing factor of the market. Governing agencies of numerous countries are updating their laws to permit the sale as well as production of hemp-based items. This shifting legal environment is spurring innovation, investment, and product development. Moreover, the removal of trade restrictions in various countries is motivating food players to include hemp ingredients in their products, which further creates a positive hemp-based food market outlook. Besides this, legalization is encouraging companies to engage in diverse kinds of partnerships. For instance, on 5 July 2023, Burcon NutraScience Corporation, a global technology leader in the development of plant-based proteins for foods and beverages, unveiled that it has partnered with HPS Food and Ingredients Inc. (HPS), a leading provider of food ingredients based on hempseed, to explore the commercialization of Burcon's unique high purity and soluble hempseed protein isolate. With this partnership, the company hopes to take advantage of the growing trend of the hempseed protein market and provide people all over the world with high-quality plant-based protein options.

Sustainability and Environmental Concerns

The increasing focus on sustainability and environmental consciousness is encouraging people to seek out alternative and eco-friendly food sources, which is impelling the hemp-based food market growth. Compared to many traditional crops, hemp farming uses less water and pesticides, making it an eco-friendlier choice. Apart from this, rising environmental concerns associated with the food processing industry are catalyzing the demand for food items having a reduced ecological footprint. In addition, a large number of companies are minimizing their carbon footprint by using sustainable packaging solutions like compostable and biodegradable materials. On 18 April 2023, Hemperella launched an innovative new line of hemp-based superfood products in 900 LIDL stores across Poland and 400 LIDL stores throughout the Netherlands and became the leading hemp Superfood brand for consumers who want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Hemperella's nutritious and delicious products are sourced from high-quality and sustainably grown hemp plants and are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids.
