Buckwheat Market Growth Drivers:

Increasing demand for healthy and nutritional food products due to the increasing health awareness is increasing the demand for buckwheat and its products. Several applications of buckwheat in the beverage and cosmetics industry, growing demand for gluten-free and organic food are expected to drive the buckwheat market.

However, the decrease in the production of buckwheat in recent years due to the availability of alternative ways to improve soil fertility and reported issues of allergic reactions to buckwheat products are restraining market growth.The prevalence of varicose vein conditions has increased worldwide for a number of reasons, including factors of age, obesity, pregnancy, and standing and sitting cross-legged for a more extended period. For example, according to the International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, in India, 46.7% of women and 27.8% of men suffered from varicose veins, and 49.3% of women and 18.9% of men had symptoms. The ability of buckwheat to treat the varicose veins is the primary element driving the global business extension.

Buckwheat Market restraints:

The increase in the geriatric population, the increased incidence of sports-related injuries, bone density problems, and a deficiency of various minerals, vitamins, and essential fats due to unhealthy lifestyles and work schedules are some additional factors that lead to various chronic musculoskeletal problems.

Manufacturers aiming to make their products visible to a broader consumer base and selling products on e-commerce platforms and mobile apps and applying sound marketing strategies are currently a key trend seen in the market.This development is anticipated to gain popularity in the upcoming years and significantly boost growth in the global market. Decreased buckwheat production, the availability of compromised or adulterated quality buckwheat, and buckwheat as a potential allergen for some people are some of the factors that could slow the growth of the market. Furthermore, high-quality buckwheat is expensive, which might also restraints the market. Also, to some extent, the market could hamper by a lack of awareness about buckwheat, its benefits, and the availability of other superfoods.
