Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, widely cultivated for its roots, leaves, and flowers. Native to Europe and Asia, it is now grown in various regions worldwide, particularly in temperate climates. The plant features bright blue flowers and deeply lobed leaves, resembling dandelion greens. The root is commonly roasted and used as a caffeine-free coffee substitute, while its leaves serve as a leafy vegetable or fodder crop. Chicory root is rich in inulin, which is a prebiotic fiber utilized in food products to enhance fiber content and support gut health. It also finds applications in herbal medicine due to its bioactive compounds, including polyphenols and sesquiterpene lactones. The plant's adaptability to different soil conditions and its ability to thrive with minimal agricultural inputs make it a sustainable crop choice. Chicory is widely integrated into the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries, contributing to its commercial significance across multiple sectors.

The global chicory market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing preference for natural and plant-based ingredients. It is encouraging food and beverage (F&B) manufacturers to incorporate chicory-derived components in their products. Concurrently, the expanding awareness of digestive health is supporting the adoption of inulin-rich chicory fiber, particularly in functional foods and dietary supplements. Rising concerns over high sugar consumption are prompting manufacturers to utilize chicory root fiber as a natural sweetener in reduced-calorie formulations. Moreover, the expanding coffee alternative market is promoting the use of roasted chicory as a caffeine-free substitute, aligning with shifting consumer preferences toward herbal and non-stimulant beverages. The rising demand for herbal and botanical extracts in pharmaceuticals is stimulating chicory's utilization due to its bioactive properties. Additionally, the ongoing expansion of organic farming practices is accelerating the cultivation of chicory as a sustainable crop. Furthermore, the shift toward clean-label products is driving the inclusion of chicory ingredients in processed foods due to their natural origin which boosts demand, impelling the market growth.
