Additionally, chia seeds are gluten-free and suitable for individuals with diabetes or cardiac conditions. Rapid urbanization and busier lifestyles have led to increasing health consciousness among consumers. This has fueled the demand for nutritional and functional foods like chia seeds. Furthermore, the various applications of chia seeds as a sustainable alternative to water-intensive crops is expected to drive their adoption in the agriculture industry.

 Market Dynamics:

The global chia seed market is driven by rising health awareness, increasing usage of plant-based products, and growing demand from functional food and beverage industries. Chia seeds help reduce the risk of heart diseases, manage blood sugar levels, and promote skin and hair health due to their rich nutritional profile. However, high costs of production and limited awareness in developing countries restrain the market growth.
