According to Future Market Insights, innovation in food processing technology is catalysing the production capacity and this will help manufacturers to cater to the burgeoning demand in the future.

FMI’s analysis on the tahini market in Middle East and Mediterranean revealed that fluctuation in price of sesame seeds is a key concern for manufacturers. Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds, and any fluctuation in their prices impacts the profit margin of manufacturers. Political unrest in Middle East can also have an impact on the growth of the tahini market according to the report.

Widespread acceptance of tahini is restrained by easy availability and low price of paste & spreads substitutes, such as jam, marmalades, peanut butter, mayonnaise, and other table sauces. FMI estimates this to have a moderate impact on curtailing the growth of the tahini market in Middle East and Mediterranean.

According to an end-user survey carried out by Future Market Insights, demand for tahini is the highest in sweet/savoury/spreads food, such as hummus, falafel sauces and sweet tahini molasses. FMI’s end-user survey also revealed that extraction of tahini accounted for 59.3% of the total sesame market. According to tahini manufacturers, 45.5% of tahini is consumed through sweet/savoury products, whereas distributors estimated the consumption at 50%.
