Why Flaxseed Remains a Key Ingredient in Health and Industry Despite Emerging Alternatives

The global flaxseed market shows consistent growth, driven by its popularity in sectors like health, wellness, food, cosmetics, and industry. Flaxseed, alternatively called linseed, is valued for its nutrient richness, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants.

According to 6Wresearch, the global flaxseed market is deemed to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.50% during the forecast period 2025-2031. This growth is driven by rising consumer interest in natural and plant-based products, as well as the expanding use of flaxseed in both food and non-food industries. As consumers become aware of the health benefits of flaxseed, its demand continues to rise across the globe.
