Wheatgrass Supplements-Where Is the Market Going

Last updated: September-27,2022

Reason Behind the Increasing Popularity of Wheatgrass Supplements

Consumers around the globe are becoming more health conscious. This, coupled with increased awareness about dietary supplements and disposable income among consumers, has led to a rapidly growing global dietary supplement market. As a result, the global dietary supplement market has reached a whopping $155.2 billion in 2022 and is likely to reach $220.8 billion by 2027, growing with an estimated CAGR of 7.3%.[i]

Being a rich source of micronutrients and dietary fiber, wheatgrass – freshly sprouted leaves of a wheat plant – is commonly regarded as a superfood with a plethora of health benefits. As a result, the demand for wheatgrass supplements also continues to grow as the global dietary supplement market expands.[ii]

Wheatgrass supplements: Health benefits and global market

Also colloquially known as “green blood” because of its characteristic green hue, wheatgrass is a rich source of a variety of nutrients, including iron, calcium, magnesium, proteins, and vitamins A, C, E, and K. Consumed on its own, in combination with different foods and beverages, or as supplements in capsule and tablet form, this superfood has been shown to promote numerous health benefits, including digestion, immunity, cognition, and much more.

Due to the plethora of health benefits it offers, the global wheatgrass market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.14% during 2022-2027 and an expected CAGR of 5%.[iii]

This average upward search trend for wheatgrass supplements in the USA aligns with the current global market trends, where the USA is one of the highest-grossing markets for wheatgrass products and supplements. As a result, the US wheatgrass supplements market is expected to reach $52.2 million by 2031, with over 80% of the revenue coming from powdered wheatgrass products and supplements.[iv]

Leading market players like Now Foods, Pines International, Synergy Natural, Nutriblade, and My Protein have been quick to capture the market, introducing wheatgrass supplements for household applications – serving more than 60% of the wheatgrass supplement customers. As a result, the top 10 players currently hold 45% of the global wheatgrass market.[v]

This, however, also presents a unique opportunity for your company to benefit from this growing market and introduce wheatgrass products that meet the organic food demands of health-conscious customers. Moreover, combining wheatgrass with other ingredients to build a clean-label organic wheatgrass product range can also help you capture the existing and emerging markets and dominate the competitive landscape.[vi]

Building a product portfolio should be your first step while bringing your wheatgrass supplements to the market. This starts from sourcing of raw materials and manufacturing practices that adhere to all the rules and regulations to packaging and a supply chain with minimal environmental impact.
