Amaranth Market: Skincare Innovation, Regional Dynamics and Supply-Side Priorities

Beyond food, the amaranth market is increasingly shaped by cosmetics and personal care. Polaris Market Research reports a global value of USD 8.13 billion in 2024 and a projected USD 24.48 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2025 to 2034. Polaris lists healthy superfoods, a rising geriatric population and gluten-free, nutritious products among the demand drivers. In the Polaris segmentation by application, the cosmetics and personal care segment is expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period, alongside food and beverages and pharmaceuticals. By product, the market spans seed, oil, leaf and flour, and the seed segment accounted for the largest share in 2024.

Antioxidants Drive Skincare Interest

The antioxidant abundance of amaranth is desired for incorporation into natural skincare products and beauty products, which has increased market demand. Its micronutrients and antioxidant properties have led to widespread use in skincare and other personal care items. Polaris notes that the increasing adoption of natural skincare products in developed as well as developing economies is expected to offer growth prospects over the coming years.

Squalene is central to this story. As a skin ingredient, it facilitates quick oil absorption and does not produce a greasy sheen on the complexion. Amaranth oil offers extra antibacterial defense for the skin because of the squalene and a vitamin compound in its structure.

Personal Care Segment Outlook

The cosmetic and personal care segment is expected to grow considerably through the projected period. Polaris attributes this to improved public acceptance and to the large number of developed enterprises in the sector, with especially rapid growth anticipated in developing markets. For ingredient suppliers, personal care applications therefore represent a distinct growth avenue compared with traditional food use.

Natural Labeling and Consumer Preference

Demand for natural products continues to expand because of growing customer preference for organic and clean-label goods. Natural items are devoid of chemical pollutants, making them a cleaner alternative to commercially farmed food. Brands that develop clean-label products around amaranth can align with this preference, which Polaris lists among the key growth drivers.

Regional Dynamics

North America dominated the global market in 2024 on the back of nutritious-food trends and rising gluten-free adoption. Asia Pacific holds a significant share and is anticipated to grow at a considerable pace, owing to increasing disposable income and the booming cosmetics industry in countries such as China and India. Demand for squalene-derived products is also rising in the region because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities. In North America, increasing consumption of healthy foods and beverages, which people prefer over sugary fizzy beverages, is also fueling product demand.

Supply-side efforts are visible too. In Asia Pacific, local amaranth cultivation is being scaled up to meet domestic demand and reduce import reliance, while refinement of supply chains with crops resilient to changing climate conditions adds growth opportunities. This matters because uncertain climatic circumstances are likely to limit grain production, and high manufacturing costs are expected to restrict industry growth.

Competitive Landscape

Players operate locally, regionally and globally, pursuing new product launches, mergers and acquisitions, partnerships and collaborations to strengthen their presence. Companies profiled by Polaris include Amaranth Bio Company, Amaranth Nord, AMR Amaranth A.S., Dk Mass S.R.O, Flaveko Trade Spol.

Conclusion

The amaranth market is poised for continued growth, driven by increasing consumer preference for nutritious, gluten-free, and plant-based food products. Growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of amaranth, including its protein, fiber, and mineral content, is supporting its adoption across food and beverage applications. The rising popularity of ancient grains and functional foods is further strengthening market demand. However, limited consumer awareness in certain regions, supply chain constraints, and fluctuating production costs may restrict market expansion. Increasing product innovation and the availability of amaranth-based snacks, cereals, and bakery products are expected to create new opportunities. Overall, the market is likely to benefit from evolving dietary preferences and the growing emphasis on healthy and sustainable food choices.
