Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'Broccoli Microgreens Market,' The broccoli microgreens market was valued at $237.20 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $398.5 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2031.Broccoli microgreens are young seedlings of the broccoli plant, which belongs to the Brassicaceae family, which also includes arugula, cabbage, and radish. Brassicaceae microgreens are well known and valued for their anti-cancer glucosinolates and carotenoid phytochemicals.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted the supply chain of food products at the local level, with only essential food items permitted to be transported. The demand for microgreens, particularly broccoli, was not met by emerging economies such as China and India.
Microgreens are becoming increasingly popular among consumers due to their nutritional profile and high antioxidant content. According to a new study, the tiny plants have the potential to help provide global nutrition security. An international team of researchers discovered these vegetables can be grown in a variety of soilless production systems in small spaces indoors, with or without artificial lighting, as part of a project titled 'Food Resilience in the Face of Catastrophic Global Events.' The findings are especially pertinent in the context of a pandemic that has disrupted food supply chains.
In addition, if a consumer does not consume enough macro and microgreen elements, they may suffer from metabolic disorders and organ damage, which can lead to acute and chronic diseases and even death. Chronic diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Chronic diseases, specifically cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease, are responsible for more than half of all deaths worldwide. Tobacco use, poor diet, and physical inactivity are all major risk factors for this disease burden. As a result of the numerous health benefits, the demand for broccoli microgreens is driving market growth.
Vertical farming will be critical to the expansion of the Microgreens Market in the coming years. With the world's population growing and urbanisation increasing, there is a growing demand for arable and agricultural land to meet food requirements and demand.

The market dynamics are also affected by shifting dietary preferences and the popularity of plant-based diets, with broccoli microgreens now being valued as an important component in a variety of plant-based dishes.
