The Middle East and Africa Quinoa Market size is valued at around USD 37.19 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 89.12 million by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 19.10% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. The market witnessed a notable growth in the past few years, backed by growing demand for gluten-free and plant-based foods, expansion in vegan & vegetarian lifestyles, climate resilient crop promotion, government & institutional trials for local production, and integration into the foodservice & hospitality sector etc.

The promotion of quinoa as a climate-resilient crop works as one of the significant drivers for the growth & expansion of the Middle East and Africa Quinoa Market. This is due to the quinoa’s natural tolerance to drought, heat, and saline soils, which allows it to be easily cultivated in arid climatic regions. With its adaptability to challenging climates, quinoa attracts several investments for its cultivation projects and pilot programs across various countries of the region, thereby boosting the overall market growth.

The growing integration of quinoa in cosmetics and personal care is one of the key trends in the Quinoa Industry of the Middle East and Africa. This is due to the nutrient-rich profile of quinoa, which makes it an ideal choice for skin repair, anti-aging, and hair nourishment in the cosmetics and personal care industry. However, the limited domestic production of quinoa poses as one of the major challenges, restraining the overall growth & development of the Middle East and Africa Quinoa Market.

Middle East and Africa Quinoa Market Driver:

Growing Demand for Gluten-Free & Specialty Diets – The increasing focus on gluten-free & specialty diets is driving the maximum demand for the regional quinoa market. This increasing demand is due to the growing prevalence of celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and diabetes, especially in the urban centers of the region, such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa, which shifts the consumer preferences towards healthier food alternatives, including quinoa. As of 2024, according to the International Diabetes Federation, in the MENA region, the number of individuals living with diabetes are accounting for more than 84.7 million and is expected to rise up to 126.6 million by 2050. This has created a robust consumer base seeking substitutes for traditional food grains, like wheat and barley, positioning quinoa as a naturally gluten-free, protein-rich, and highly versatile option. This expanding health-driven approach of consumers is accelerating the overall demand in quinoa market of the Middle East & African region.
