The Global Camelina Sativa market is expected to grow from USD 0.76 billion in 2024 to USD 1.02 billion in 2029, with a CAGR of 6.1% between 2024 and 2029.
Camelina Sativa, also known as gold-of-pleasure, camelina, or fake flax, is a flowering plant of the Brassicaceae family. Camelina sativa seeds are high in vital fatty acids, making them an excellent source of nutrients for hair and skin problems. This plant is native to Europe and Central Asia, and it is used to create cooking oil, biodiesel, and jet fuel as an oilseed crop. Animal feed and vegetable oil are typically produced from it. It grows well in light or medium soils in temperate climate zones but is better suited to cold semiarid climate zones and has a short season harvest of 85 to 100 days.
Camelina has numerous good characteristics that set it apart from other oilseed crops, which is why it has sparked so much interest. Camelina is adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions, with hard clay soils and organic soils being the only true limitations. Despite the fact that seed yields and oil content vary greatly depending on the environment, it has outperformed rapeseed in drought trials. This, along with the low input requirements, makes Camelina is an excellent crop for less productive fields and locations where rainfall is insufficient to support other crops. Camelina would not be displacing crops used for food production under these conditions, and it would favorably address the food for fuel argument that sometimes hampers the utilization of crop oils for fuel production. Camelina also provides a high-value meal with a protein profile similar to soy meal and appropriate residual fat content (5–10 percent). Camelina meal is, therefore, an excellent addition to poultry and other livestock feeds.
The global Camelina sativa market is being driven by rising health consciousness, increased use of biodiesel and jet fuel, high demand for edible oil, growth in food supplements, short-season crop, rise in poultry and cattle industries, and technological improvements in farming. However, the Camelina sativa market is being held back by a lack of understanding, high packing costs, and rigorous regulations.
Rising health consciousness, growing usage of biodiesel and jet fuel, high demand for edible oil, growth in food supplements, short-season crop, rise in poultry and cattle sectors, and technological developments in farming are driving the global Camelina sativa market. Camelina oil lowers cholesterol levels by assisting in cholesterol absorption thanks to the presence of sterols in the plant. Camelina oil can also help to reduce swelling in joints and provide pain relief. Camelina oil has also been found to protect against cognitive illnesses such as macular degeneration, nerve damage from inflammation, and dementia. These variables will have a beneficial impact on the camelina oil market's growth trajectory.
A lack of awareness, expensive packing costs as growing harvesting and packaging of camelina sativa is labor-intensive, and strict regulations as it is are holding back the Camelina sativa market growth.

The Market has been divided by type into, Food grade and Industrial grade. The one that took the larger Camelina Sativa Market share was the Industrial grade. This dominance was observed because of its great demand for biodiesel and jet fuel. As the cost of crude oil is increasing as the days pass, this is expected to be a worthy substitute that is similar in functionality but economic in cost when compared to traditional fuel. It is because of these reasons that we see Industrial grade type camelina sativa taking the bigger Camelina Sativa Market share.
The Market has been divided by application into, Food Industry, Chemical Industry and Textile Industry. In this segment, the one which had the larger Camelina Sativa Market share in terms of application was the textile industry as it can be used to make fibres from the stalks of the camelina sativa plant, the demand for these textiles in increasing as textile extracted from the camelina sativa plant has fabric which possesses higher tensile strength, are more moisture absorbent and provide better insulation over regular cotton clothes. It is because of these reasons that we see the textile industry taking the bigger Camelina Sativa Market share.
With its use in various industries across different sectors and continued research and development operations in organic and herbal goods, North America, led by the United States, holds a significant proportion of the camelina sativa market. The rise in demand. During the evaluation period, these figures are predicted to increase at a steady rate, in the North American market.
As camelina sativa has plenty of applications in the beauty industry, pharmaceutical industry, and others, research and development activities, and increased demand for organic products, the European area is expected to have significant growth in the worldwide Camelina Sativa Market throughout the forecast period. During the evaluation period, these figures are predicted to increase at a steady rate in the European market. Due to an increase in the population and the rising disposable income in emerging economies across the Asia Pacific region, the camelina sativa market is expected to grow at the fastest rate. During the evaluation period, these figures are predicted to increase at a rapid rate in the Asia-Pacific market.
Key Players in the Camelina Sativa Market are Botanic Innovations, OQEMA, Yield10 Bioscience, Northstar Lipids, BioOrganic Concepts, GREENTECH, Lincoln Fine Ingredients, Biocosmethic, Perles de Gascogne, Shxchangyu.
In May 2022, Yield10 Bioscience announced that they are planning upon operationalizing their commercial plan to launch Camelina Sativa as a crop to provide a low carbon feed option for animals and livestock among other things.
