Sunflower Market Analysis Europe 2025-2029

Sunflower Market Size (2025–2029)

The global sunflower market is projected to grow by USD 9.7 billion, expanding at a CAGR of 6.39% from 2024 to 2029. This growth is primarily driven by rising consumer demand for health-oriented products, particularly sunflower oil, valued for its essential fatty acids and vitamin E content.

Agricultural advancements, including the development of high-yield hybrids, have increased sunflower supply. However, market volatility due to fluctuating oilseed prices, limited arable land, and weather instability poses a challenge. Nevertheless, increasing investment in quality seeds and modern farming technologies is helping offset these constraints.

Beyond edible oil, the market is diversifying into snacks, baked goods, cosmetics, and autumn-themed products, with companies expanding offerings such as black oil sunflower seeds and medical-grade sunflower oil to tap into evolving consumer preferences.
