The tahini industry involves the production, distribution, and consumption of tahini, a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is a key ingredient in various cuisines, particularly Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and North African dishes, and is used in sauces, dressings, dips, spreads, and sweets.
The Middle East and Mediterranean tahini industry is expected to be valued at USD 989 million in 2024. Demand in the region will likely rise at 9.3% CAGR during the forecast period, with total industry size reaching USD 1,543 million by 2034.
Since the Middle East and Mediterranean region has historically been the dominant producer of tahini, the industry has firmly established itself there. In the area, tahini is well-known for both its raw form and its application in a variety of recipes.
Throughout the world, Arabic people are notorious for consuming sweets. The region’s increasing sales of confections support this. The demand for tahini, an ingredient in many desserts, consequently increases.
In addition to sweets, tahini’s use in a variety of Middle Eastern treats is expected to keep manufacturers happy. The ongoing usage of the condiment is greatly increasing demand for two delicacies: hummus and baba ghanoush.
As the number of eateries, bakeries, and hotels rise in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, the demand is progressing. The clamor for savory and delicious treats in hotels and eateries ensures demand for tahini keeps chugging along.
“The continued popularity of the condiment is being augmented by the rise in vegan and vegetarian consumers. Thus, investors have the opportunity to appeal to both tradition-minded consumers and the younger generation,” says a lead analyst at Future Market Insights (FMI).
