Saffron Market to Reach New Heights

According to TechSci Research report, “Saffron Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Saffron Market was valued at USD 629.76 million in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 941.23 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.98% during the forecast period. The global saffron market has witnessed significant growth over the past decade, driven by increasing awareness of saffron’s unique qualities and diverse applications. Often referred to as the “red gold,” saffron is renowned for its distinctive aroma, flavor, and vibrant color, making it one of the most prized spices worldwide. Derived from the stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower, saffron’s cultivation process is labour-intensive and delicate, contributing to its high cost and exclusivity. Despite its premium price, consumer demand continues to rise, fueled by expanding uses across food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and wellness sectors.
