The global sorghum market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.04% over the forecast period, reaching a market size of US$19.928 billion in 2029, up from US$14.128 billion in 2022.
Sorghum has nutritional content that is a great substitute for rice, wheat, and other fiber-rich grains. Additionally, sorghum (also known as Jowar) is a gluten-free grain, unlike other grains, with wide applications ranging from human to bio and animal feed. This wide utilization and their healthy nutritional content will propel the sorghum market growth. Moreover, the rising development of hybrid sorghum with the technology and its low water usage properties drive the global sorghum market.
Global Sorghum Market Drivers:
- Growing Demand for sorghum in the Animal Feed Industry is anticipated to boost its market.
Sorghum is becoming increasingly in demand in the animal products business. For example, according to the KWS data, sorghum grain is mainly utilized for animal feeding in Europe. Since sorghum has higher protein levels and nutritional values, it is fed to pigs, poultry, cattle, and other domestic animals. Additionally, in the US, the top supplier that produces sorghum is for the animal feeding industry. This growing demand in the animal feed industry is expected to propel the sorghum market size during the forecasted period.
- Increased government support and research initiatives are acting as growth drivers of the market
The government and associated institutions consistently employ efforts in the sorghum market to encourage the higher production and cultivation of sorghum. As per the FDA, the United Nations General Assembly, at its 75th session, declared 2023 the International Year of Millets (IYM 2023), which led to a rising awareness of the health benefits of millets and sorghum consumption.
Further, the Union Ministry of Agriculture has sanctioned Rs. 6.25 billion, which has been funded in recent years, to 66 startups working to raise awareness and promote millet consumption. A sorghum breeding program initiated by the Government of India was launched in 1990 to develop double sorghum varieties. Since then, the Indian Ministry of Agriculture reports a 25% increase in sorghum yield in India between 1991 and 2020. These continuous efforts and research activities are designed to contribute to the sorghum market’s growth.
- The climate change and its adaptability are expected to affect the sorghum market growth positively.
Due to its exceptional drought resistance and warm-weather adaptability, sorghum is becoming increasingly vital to produce and consume in this era of climate change. Further, climate change is proceeding at an alarming rate, which could also contribute to market growth. For instance, according to the reports published by NASA, the last decade, 2011-2020, was the warmest on Earth, with a rise of 2.8º in the global temperature expected by the end of the century.
Sorghum is a crop for warmer climates, with temperatures topping 90º Fahrenheit, and hence, it is grown in the summer region. With the changing climatic conditions, increasing temperatures, and severe droughts, the production and cultivation of sorghum are anticipated to increase globally, with more adoption by farmers resulting in an increase in the sorghum market.
- Rising awareness of sorghum’s health benefits is expected to drive its market expansion.
Sorghum's high nutritional content, especially its gluten-free nature, fuels the market's expansion. The usage of sorghum is becoming highly popular as people become more health conscious. University of Nebraska research estimates that 25% of Americans eat a gluten-free diet, and that number is predicted to rise in the years to come.
Sorghum's micronutrient richness, along with its high content of magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and vitamin B6, adds to its demand and helps drive its market expansion.
Global Sorghum Market Geographical Outlook
- North America is expected to rise significantly.
The North American sorghum market is predicted to contribute exponentially to the global production of sorghum. The US is the top supplier of sorghum, with production of 600 million bushels in 2020 planted on 5.88 million acres of land in more than 12 states, with Kansas leading the list among Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
Moreover, as an alternative sweetener, sorghum demand in North America is predicted to rise, driving the sorghum market's growth. Additionally, advancements in technology for improved herbicides and hybrid seeds are anticipated to increase the sorghum market size in the region.
