Market Overview:
The global superfoods market grew at a CAGR of around 7% during 2014-2019. Superfoods refer to nutrient-rich food items that are beneficial for maintaining good health and wellbeing. They contain a high amount of minerals, vitamins, fibers, antioxidants, fatty acids, etc. Superfoods primarily include a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, herbs, roots, meat, etc. These food items help in maintaining good heart health, boosting immunity, enhancing metabolism, improving energy levels, and reducing the effects of aging. Several superfood ingredients are widely used in various value-added food products. This includes bakery items, breakfast cereals, dairy products, confectioneries, instant food mixes, beverages, and ready-to-eat products.

The growing consumer health consciousness coupled with the increasing awareness towards several nutritional benefits of superfoods is primarily driving the market growth. Moreover, the high prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and heart-related medical ailments, due to sedentary consumer lifestyles is also catalyzing the demand for superfoods. The rising adoption of a balanced diet, particularly among the health-conscious consumers has led to the incorporation of superfoods in everyday meals. Additionally, the increasing levels of urbanization along with the rising demand for ready-to-eat food products have also propelled the demand for superfoods in the food processing industry. The changing consumer inclination from conventional food products towards gluten-free and vegan foods has also led to the emergence of newer product variants. Furthermore, the inclusion of various plant-sourced ingredients such as soybean, flaxseeds, chia seeds, canola, etc., in functional food and beverages is also driving the market. Besides this, the high prevalence of social media trends and numerous celebrity endorsements promoting the benefits of superfoods are also fueling the product demand. Several superfood manufacturers are focusing on the development of clean-label products with prolonged shelf life and easy storage benefits. The rising consumer concerns towards the negative health impact of chemical-based food ingredients is also driving the demand for organic product variants. Apart from this, the increasing adoption of superfood ingredients in the personal care sector for manufacturing shampoos, serums, lotions, body oils, etc., is further catalyzing the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global superfoods market to grow continuously during the next five years.
