The global buckwheat market size reached a volume of about 4.84 million tons in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4% between 2024 and 2032.
Buckwheat, a whole grain possessing similarity to quinoa, is highly nutritious and is commonly used as an ingredient in various food products, including breakfast foods and flour. Often considered a superfood, buckwheat contains a rutin called flavonoid that strengthens the blood vessels. Rutin has also been described as vitamin P, and its ability to improve and retain the elasticity of the blood vessel is well established. Buckwheat is a varied component in supplements used to avoid diseases related to ageing vessels, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, and stroke of myocardial infarction. Many benefits of the product consumption include improved digestion, building immunity, and bone safety, among others.
The diversified use of buckwheat extract in herbal formulations offering benefits like strengthening the blood vessels and increasing blood flow as well as added health benefits in bone health management are some of the major factors expected to accelerate the buckwheat market growth in the forecast period. Buckwheat extract can also be combined with the majority of food items that can be used in the food and beverage sector as an additive. Moreover, buckwheat is also versatile in culinary applications, used in a variety of dishes ranging from pancakes and noodles to porridge and salads, and its increasing use in both traditional and innovative recipes contributes to the demand for buckwheat.

Source | Organic, Non Organic |
Form | Groats, Flour, Flakes, Others |
Application | Food and Beverages, Animal Feed, Cosmetic and Personal Care, Others |
Region | North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa |
By form, flour accounts for a major buckwheat market share due to its heightened use in the preparation of pancakes and bread, among other food items
Buckwheat flour is the leading segment in terms of market share. Buckwheat flour is used to prepare a wide range of products, from baked goods like bread, pancakes, and noodles to various gluten-free recipes, and this versatility makes it highly sought after by both consumers and manufacturers. The growing awareness of gluten intolerance and celiac disease, along with the rise in health-conscious consumers seeking nutritious and whole grain options, has significantly boosted the demand for buckwheat flour as its high nutritional value, including protein, dietary fibres, and minerals, aligns well with these dietary trends.
Buckwheat groats are also anticipated to experience a robust growth in the coming years. Groats, which are the hulled kernels of buckwheat, are consumed as a whole grain and have been gaining popularity due to the increasing consumer preference for whole, unprocessed foods. They are often used in porridges, salads, and as a rice alternative, offering a nutritious and flavourful component to meals.
The food and beverages sector maintains its dominance in the market owing to the increasing usage of buckwheat in a broad range of food products
The buckwheat market is driven by its growing usage in the food and beverages sector. Buckwheat is used in a wide range of food products, including noodles (especially in Japanese and Korean cuisines), pancakes, bread, and other baked goods. Its nutritional benefits, such as high protein content and gluten-free nature, make it popular among health-conscious and gluten-intolerant populations. In some cultures, buckwheat is a staple food, contributing significantly to its consumption. For example, in Russia, buckwheat porridge is a traditional dish, while in Japan, soba noodles are widely consumed.
Buckwheat is also used in animal feed as a source of protein and other nutrients as its amino acid profile and digestibility can be beneficial for livestock health and productivity, thereby contributing to the buckwheat market expansion. Moreover, utilising buckwheat in animal feed can be part of sustainable agriculture practices. As a crop, buckwheat can improve soil health and biodiversity, making it an eco-friendly option for animal feed production.
