Market Growth Factors
Consumer awareness of the health and wellness benefits of superfoods is fueling the growth of superfoods. According to a study of 500 participants published in 2024, including blueberries, kale, and other superfoods in the diet decreased the incidence of cardiovascular disease by 20%. The growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases and the increasing popularity of antioxidant-rich and nutrient-dense food products are likely to drive demand in the retail, foodservice, and dietary supplement industries.
In response to a consumer desire for a sustainable food source, there has been a shift towards a plant-based diet rich in superfoods. These superfoods, such as quinoa, chia seeds and kale, are high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and iron. Furthermore, the Good Food Institute reported that plant-based food sales grew three times faster than the overall food market in 2021, contributing to an increase in revenues for the superfoods market. Demographically, populations such as the increasingly vegan African Americans contribute to the growth.
Another key driver of this market is the increasing awareness of preventative healthcare and the rising rate of obesity. IBEF anticipates that the preventative healthcare market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22% with more than USD 150 Million in healthcare startups. Rising activity levels, interest in functional foods in sports nutrition, and daily consumption patterns (such as breakfast smoothies, or superfood snacks eaten throughout the day) are all driving growth in the category.
