What Is Driving The Growth Of The Quinoa Market?
The expanding requirement for processed foods is projected to drive the growth of the quinoa market. Processed foods are defined as items that undergo intentional alterations to their natural state through various preparation, preservation, cooking, or packaging techniques. Quinoa is incorporated into these foods as a nutrient-rich superfood, delivering vital amino acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a gluten-free and complete protein source. For instance, in April 2024, statistics from the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) indicated that total industry foodservice sales accounted for 26.9% of in-store sales in 2023, up from 25.6% in 2022, with prepared food sales climbing by 12.2% per store per month, establishing it as the leading in-store category.
