Europe Amaranth Market Worth $4.98 Billion By 2028 | CAGR: 10.8%

Europe Amaranth Market Growth & Trends

The Europe amaranth market size is expected to reach USD 4.98 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 10.8% over the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the high demand for amaranth products as it contains lysine, twice as much protein compared to wheat, thrice as much protein compared to maize, and an equal amount of protein found in milk. In addition, amaranth contains an abundant amount of provitamin-A, which is an essential vitamin required for eye health in the tropics, which is expected to augment the market growth.

The growing vegan population owing to increased awareness regarding environmental protection in the European region is expected to boost demand for plant-based nutrition. It will also increase product penetration in food and beverage applications. In 2020, countries like Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany had a vegetarian population of approximately 5%, 8.9%, and 10% of the total population, respectively.

In the Europe healthcare industry, amaranth is used in clinical nutrition, food supplements, and pharmaceutical products. The demand for amaranth in the pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to be driven by its functional properties, such as gluten-free and lactose intolerance compatible, which are beneficial for adults, children, as well as high-performance athletes.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the European region as several countries including the U.K., Italy Spain, France, and Germany witnessed a high number of infections in the year 2020. Even though small-scale exports of amaranth products took place internally among European countries, the consumption was impacted in the same year, as the region is highly dependent on the imports of amaranth from Central and South America, North America, and the Asia Pacific regions.

The outbreak disrupted the import flow in the region, leading to a slight decline in the demand from the application industries. The sales and manufacturing of non-essential products, such as cosmetics and personal care products, were majorly impacted by the lockdown, which led to a decline in the demand for amaranth from the cosmetics manufacturers in 2020.
