By the end of 2022, the net worth of total chia seeds sold globally was estimated to be US$ 195.3 million. In the current year, 2023, the sales of chia seeds, in terms of value, are expected to be worth around USD 203 million. FMI further projects the overall market to record a CAGR of 7% from 2023 to 2033. By experiencing this promising growth, the global chia seed market size is projected to reach a valuation of USD 390.3 million by 2033.
Chia seeds are a highly exported commodity in the food sector, largely because production is concentrated in only a few countries. Expanding applications for chia seeds in personal care and cosmetic products are expected to drive market growth, as consumers increasingly prefer organic and natural ingredients in skincare.
According to FMI, chia seed sales accounted for 0.15% of the superfood market, valued at USD 2.5 billion in 2022. Rising demand for chia seeds as a superfood is anticipated to further boost market growth in the coming years.
Growing consumer demand for gluten-free food items and improving recognition of chia seeds for their health advantages are the key reasons propelling sales. Moreover, the increased use of chia seeds as a source of omega-3 in animal feed is also regarded to have boosted the market.
Under their bland flavor, chia seeds may be added to packaged meals and functional foods. Chia seeds’ high fiber content makes it possible to use them in bakery goods, energy drinks, dietary supplements, sports drinks, and salty snacks. Furthermore, Chia seeds are often used in packaged ‘superfood’ items because of their high antioxidant and fiber content.
A certain degree of market development restraint may result from the limited availability of suitable environments for plant growth and higher seed output. Against this backdrop, the sales of chia seeds in the United States are anticipated to remain profitable over the assessment period.

Competitive Landscape for the Chia Seed Market Players
Organic Denmark, Sesajal, Bioglan, Nutiva, Navitas Naturals, Mamma Chia, Genera Nutrients, and Maya Chia are a few of the leading chia seed-supplying industries. Many of the global market players rely on imports because much of the output is located in Central and South American nations.
The chia seed plant thrives in the dry, marine-influenced Mediterranean climates, so its market has remained concentrated in some parts of the world. However, the adoption of modern farming methods has now given rise to the possibility of successful farming of chia seeds in other climatic regions. This is anticipated to support the emergence of new players and diversify the market in the coming days.
Recent Developments by the Chia Seed Supplying Industries
Mamma Chia declared in April 2022 that its products are keto-friendly. This development included its product line of Chia Energy Beverages and Chia Vitality Beverages, providing only 6 grams of net carbohydrates per serving.
Innovation and the creation of new product supplies are the main techniques used by businesses to maintain their market share. The Chia Co. launched four new types to its Oats+Chia product line last year, including Apple Spice, Blueberry Lemon, Mixed Berry, and Banana Mango. Later, it added three new flavors to its Chia Pods products, such as Strawberry, Dark Cacao, and Coffee Bean.
