Saffron Market Dynamics

Driver-Growing Demand for Saffron in Medical and Cosmetic Applications

The widespread application of saffron in various industries including medicine and cosmetics has boosted the market growth globally. Saffron is a spice with a distinctive color and strong fragrance. It is rich in antioxidants and offers several health benefits. The main active compounds present in saffron include picrocrocin, safranal, and crocin, all of which have antioxidant properties that help fight against oxidative stress and free radicals. For instance, oxidative stress and free radicals perform a key role in the advancement of many health conditions. The antioxidant property of saffron helps cures various health conditions such as heart disease and cancer, as well as protect the human body from nervous system disorders. The compounds present in saffron such as crocin help reduce oxidative damage and inflammation in the human brain, which results in positive health impact. Saffron is known for its memory-enhancing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, resulting in its usage in the cure of Alzheimer’s. Thus, the various medicinal benefits offered by saffron are likely to propel market growth.

Driver-Growing Food Industry in Various Regions

The global food industry is growing rapidly on account of increasing demand for a variety of food products. Saffron is used in food products as a flavoring, aroma, and seasoning agent. Several ready-toeat foods manufacturers have been using saffron as an ingredient in various food products. The functional foods market is growing in line with the rising demand for ready-to-eat food products owing to their multiple health benefits. In addition, saffron is used in dessert and dairy products. For instance, Vadilal, an ice-cream maker, uses saffron as a flavoring agent. Saffron is also used in confectionery products such as cookies, cakes, bread, and sweets. For instance, saffron is used to make the Swedish Lussebullar, a famous saffron baked product. Companies such as Haldirams use saffron to add flavor to sweets and bakery items. Thus, the rising demand for confectionery products is expected to benefit the market growth over the forecast period.

Restraint-High Cost of Saffron

Saffron is a highly labor-intensive crop, particularly during the harvesting stage. However, no studies are supporting the use of automation as a reliable approach to eliminate the thread-like stigmas from the saffron flower. Furthermore, there is no machine that can perform the delicate task essential to harvest, these thin threads. It takes about 40 hours of labor-intensive work to produce just 1 kilogram of highquality saffron and over 11,000 farmers are engaged in planting approximately 5,200 hectares of saffron plots. Factors such as increasing labor cost, necessary conditions for cultivation is expected to result in high price of saffron which is further expected to restrain the market growth over the coming years. Planting saffron is not easy as it blooms in severe temperatures, both hot and cold, thus, every single variation in the climate can affect its development. Packaging plays an important role in the value chain as saffron is light-sensitive and hygroscopic, thus, should be well-preserved and covered from light during transport.
