Drivers & Restraints:

Increasing Number of Health Conscious Consumers to Augment Growth

Hemp seeds are derived from the hemp plant, a different variety of the cannabis or marijuana family. They are highly nutritious and rich in minerals, healthy fats, proteins, and others. The increasing awareness about the nutritional properties of these seeds are considered the key factors promoting the global hemp seeds market growth. Besides this, they are also used by patients suffering from chronic diseases for its medicinal properties, thereby accounting to its growth.

On the flipside, most of the nations do not approve the use of hemp seeds or products based on hemp and have imposed complex regulations on the use of industrial hemp. This may hamper the growth rate in the coming years. This, coupled with the current spread of the novel coronavirus is also causing major hindrance to the market in the coming years.

 Despite this, the increasing demand from various applications such as personal care products, animal feed, food and beverage, and other industrial products are likely to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the coming years.
