This market is projected to expand from $23.58 billion in 2025 to $24.91 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.

It is forecast to expand to $30.12 billion in 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. This anticipated growth during the forecast period stems from the expansion of functional food formulations, increasing demand for clean-label ingredients, a rise in processed food manufacturing, growing health-oriented consumer preferences, and the scaling of commercial garlic cultivation.

Garlic Market Drivers Explained: What Is Supporting A 4.9% CAGR?
The expanding appeal of organic and natural food items is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the garlic market. These food substances are characterized by their production without synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), undergoing minimal processing, and being free from artificial additives. The increasing consumer awareness regarding health and the rising requirement for transparency within the food supply chain are key factors driving the growing demand for organic and natural food products. Garlic inherently offers a powerful and natural flavor profile, eliminating the necessity for artificial additives or flavor enhancers. Furthermore, the cultivation of garlic naturally aligns with organic farming principles, which prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and sustainability. Supporting this trend, in May 2024, the Organic Trade Association, a US-based organic industry group, reported that U.S. sales of certified organic products achieved a new peak in 2023, approaching $70 billion. Specifically, the American organic market’s total dollar sales amounted to $69.7 billion, marking a 3.4 percent increase from the preceding year. Consequently, the escalating popularity of organic and natural food products is a significant driver of growth within the garlic market.

Garlic Market Trends And Opportunities For 2026–2030
Major companies operating in the garlic market are increasingly prioritizing the development of innovative offerings, such as standardized aged garlic extracts, to secure a competitive advantage. These standardized aged garlic extracts are produced from garlic that has undergone an aging process, which helps to lessen its strong flavor and enhance the bioavailability of its beneficial compounds. They typically contain a specified concentration of key active ingredients like S-allyl cysteine. For instance, in November 2023, Sabinsa Corp., a US-based company known for manufacturing herbal extracts, phytonutrients, and specialty fine chemicals, launched a new aged garlic ingredient. This ingredient is standardized to contain 0.5% S-allyl cysteine (SAC), an active constituent renowned for its cardiovascular health benefits. This product is specifically designed for manufacturers in the cardiovascular health supplement industry. Its purpose is to address consumer concerns about the strong odor associated with fresh garlic, by offering the health benefits of aged garlic while minimizing its pungency.
