Market Dynamics:

The global sunflower seeds market is driven by the increasing awareness about the nutritional value of sunflower seeds and their associated health benefits. The growing popularity of plant-based foods and snacks has also fueled their demand. However, high production and processing costs pose a challenge for market growth. The increasing popularity of private label brands offering cost-effective options provides an opportunity for market expansion. Furthermore, innovations in processing and packaging technologies are expected to boost supply chains and market access over the forecast period. Growing popularity of plant-based and vegan diets presents an opportunity for market expansion. However, price volatility of raw materials and fluctuating weather conditions which impact crop yield act as restraints. High investment and production costs involved also hinder market penetration in price-sensitive regions. Growing research on additional health benefits of sunflower seeds and new product development using sunflower seed derivatives provide new opportunities for market players. For example, sunflower seed oil is increasingly used in cosmetics and personal care products owing to its moisturizing and antioxidant properties.
