Consumer awareness about tahini’s low-caloric properties has made it a preferred ingredient in sweet/savoury spreads and according to a new research report by Future Market Insights (FMI), the tahini market in Middle East and Mediterranean region will be worth US$ 1,081.7 Mn by 2020.

Surge in demand for convenience packaged-, ready-to-eat-, and processed food products has provided an impetus to the tahini market. Tahini’s low-calorie and preservative-free status is one of the key reasons for its demand in the food processing industry.

According to Future Market Insights, innovation in food processing technology is catalysing the production capacity and this will help manufacturers to cater to the burgeoning demand in the future.

FMI’s analysis on the tahini market in Middle East and Mediterranean revealed that fluctuation in price of sesame seeds is a key concern for manufacturers.

Widespread acceptance of tahini is restrained by easy availability and low price of paste & spreads substitutes, such as jam, marmalades, peanut butter, mayonnaise, and other table sauces.
