Market Overview:

The global sesame seeds market size reached USD 7.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 8.87 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.27% during 2024-2032. The increasing demand for healthy foods, the growing awareness regarding the nutritional benefits of sesame seeds and the growing popularity of ethnic cuisines represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Sesame seeds are the small, flat seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant, which is native to Africa and Asia. These seeds have a nutty and slightly sweet flavor and are commonly used in cooking, particularly in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines. They come in a range of colors, from pale yellow to black, and can be either hulled or unhulled. Hulled sesame seeds are the most commonly used for culinary purposes, as they have a softer texture and a more delicate flavor. Unhulled sesame seeds have a coarse texture and a stronger flavor and are often used in health foods because they contain more fiber and nutrients than hulled seeds. In addition, sesame seeds are a rich source of protein, healthy fats, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. They are also used to make tahini, a paste that is a staple ingredient in many dishes, including hummus and baba ghanoush. Sesame oil is another popular product that is made from sesame seeds and is commonly used in cooking and as a condiment. As a result, sesame seeds are widely utilized in the food and beverage (F&B) industry across the globe.
