The Global Saffron Extract Market was valued at USD 510.9 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% to reach USD 1.2 billion by 2034, driven by consumer trends toward healthier, more natural ingredients, as well as the growing interest in plant-based extracts in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Saffron extract has gained traction due to its scientifically backed health benefits, such as improving cognition, elevating mood, and possessing anti-inflammatory and antidepressant properties.
Increasing awareness of saffron’s medicinal value, particularly in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and age-related health issues, has also contributed to its rise in popularity. As more consumers in the West embrace alternative medicine and Ayurvedic practices, the demand for saffron-based products is increasing. Furthermore, the luxury wellness market has increasingly recognized saffron's potential for high profitability, capitalizing on its premium value by offering products with substantial markups despite relatively low sales volumes. This model has proven effective for companies that specialize in high-end wellness products, where saffron's inclusion is marketed as a key ingredient with therapeutic benefits. Saffron's reputation as a natural mood enhancer, cognitive booster, and anti-inflammatory agent adds to its allure in the luxury wellness sector.
The conventional saffron extract segment led the market in 2024, holding a 75.4% share, valued at USD 385.1 million, as conventional saffron extract is more affordable and readily available compared to newer, more specialized forms. It is deeply embedded in the cultural practices of regions like the Middle East and Asia, where saffron is used extensively in cooking, medicine, and perfumery. The flavor, aroma, and therapeutic properties of saffron are highly valued, especially in traditional cuisine and wellness practices.
The food & beverage sector is a major contributor to the saffron extract market, accounting for USD 213.1 million in 2024 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% through 2034. Saffron is widely used in South Asian and Middle Eastern dishes for its distinct color, taste, and aroma. Additionally, the growing trend of functional foods and wellness beverages has fueled interest in saffron as an ingredient in products like teas, elixirs, and flavored drinks.
United States Saffron Extract Market was valued at USD 108.9 million in 2024, with a projected growth rate of 9% CAGR from 2025 to 2034.
