According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Broccoli Microgreens Market," The broccoli microgreens market was valued at $237.20 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $398.5 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2031.
Microgreens, a new functional food, are young seedlings of vegetables and herbs that grow in seven to fourteen days. They have gained popularity in restaurants, but they are still relatively unknown and poorly understood, owing to a lack of awareness about the health benefits and proper technical knowledge for cultivation. It has enormous potential to meet the growing demand for vegetables and high-nutritional foods.
As people strive to improve their health by eating nutrient-dense foods, microgreens are becoming increasingly popular. One of the best ways to do this is with broccoli microgreens. They are not only simple to grow, but they are also high in healthy nutrients.
Because they have a higher nutritional value than mature plants or seeds, sprouts, microgreens, and baby greens are becoming increasingly popular. They're becoming popular as a new culinary ingredient, and they're used to dress up salads or as edible garnishes on a variety of other dishes. Microgreens are considered a premium product due to their higher retail price points. With the increased adoption of protected cultivation farming, people are becoming more aware of high-valued crops and their enormous demand in developed countries such as the United States, Spain, and Japan.
Indoor vertical farming is one of the newest indoor farming technologies. Most farmers are unaware of this technology and the crops that can be grown using this farming method. Sensors, artificial intelligence, automatic systems, hydroponic, aquaponic, and aeroponic systems are all used in vertical farming and greenhouse farming. A knowledgeable and skilled workforce is required to operate these advanced systems. Machine and computer maintenance also necessitates the use of technically trained individuals. The global shortage of skilled labour has impacted many industries. Furthermore, the majority of farmers enter this market with systems that are inefficient in terms of design and are costly. Furthermore, the variety of microgreens is extremely limited. Microgreens are not yet available in the vegetable range because vegetables come in a variety of types and species. These factors are anticipated to limit market growth.
Consumer lifestyle changes have been one of the major factors contributing to the growing popularity of microgreens in developing economies. Customers' food habits are changing in Asia-Pacific countries as per capita income rises. The rise in aspiration and preference for a luxurious lifestyle has resulted in a significant increase in market size and overall demand. Furthermore, per capita income in Latin America and the Middle East has increased significantly over the last decade, which is expected to rapidly boost demand for luxury food in the coming years, providing lucrative opportunities for the market.
Microgreens and related processed products are becoming more popular as consumers' health concerns grow and they become more aware of the health benefits of organic food. Organically grown food is perceived by consumers to be healthy and a nutritious alternative to conventionally grown products. Traditional reasons for purchasing organic have been surpassed by concerns about health and food safety.
Another important factor driving the growth of the microgreens market is increased awareness of the benefits of organically grown food crops over synthetic counterparts, which has resulted in an increase in demand for various processed and unprocessed food products. This is due to increased consumer awareness of the risks associated with products containing harsh chemicals, petrochemicals, and preservatives. These factors are driving the growth of the market.
