Global Hemp Seeds Market to Grow at a CAGR of 11.20% During the Period 2026-2035, Driven by Uses in Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals

The global hemp seeds market is expected to be driven by increasing legal sanction being granted to industrial hemp cultivation by authorities, reported health and medicinal benefits of hemp seed and hemp seed oil, growing health consciousness among consumers, applications in foods and beverages, and nutraceutical and pharmacological uses. North America, Europe and Asia are expected to be key markets. France, Canada, South Korea and China are major producers of industrial hemp.

Benefits of hemp seeds include:

Better Hearth Health: Hemp seeds are believed to help maintain safe cholesterol levels and protect heart health.  Amino acids, Arginine and Gamma-Linoleic acid present in hemp help lower inflammation, reduce blood pressure, and improve cardiovascular health.

Improved Digestive Health: Hemp is a good source of insoluble and soluble fibre that stimulates bowel function and prevents constipation. The fibre also gives a feeling of fullness in the belly, slows absorption of glucose and reduces cholesterol levels.

Complete Plant Protein: Hemp seeds carry all 21 amino acids, and are a good source of complete protein.

Insomnia Relief: Hemp seeds carry significant amounts of magnesium which is believed to provide a soothing and relaxing feeling.

Help Regulate Hormones: Gamma-linolenic acid in hemp seeds is believed to help regulate hormones, and alleviate symptoms caused due to hormonal imbalances during menopause, mood swings, depression, and anxiety.

Such health benefits offered by hemp seeds are expected to contribute to the growth of the global hemp seeds market.

CBG (cannabigerol), is one of 120 cannabinoids present in cannabis.
