The global sorghum market size is expected to reach USD 726.57 million in 2024 and reach USD 940.63 million by 2029, which is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2024 to 2029.
Sorghum can be grown as a sweet crop or as a grain and is considered one of the main five cereal crops. One species of sorghum is grown for grains, while many other species are used as fodder plants, which are either cultivated in warm climates worldwide or naturalized in pasture lands. Most varieties of the sorghum plant are drought- and heat-tolerant and are especially essential in arid regions, where the grain is one of the staples for poor and rural people. These varieties are an important part of pastures in tropical regions.
Sorghum is mainly used as an alternative sweetener for various alcoholic beverages, which is the major driving factor. Also, it is used in floral arrangements, fencing, building materials, pet food, and others, which further propels the market growth. Also, due to its versatility, it can reach beyond traditional markets, which enhances producer productivity.
