Market Overview
The Tahini market is projected to record a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period, 2022-2027
During COVID-19, demand for tahini and its applications declined due to lower on-trade applications. Furthermore, trade restrictions in India, China, and Africa greatly influenced the global trade flows of tahini. As a result, tahini’s price, demand, and supply were affected significantly.
Higher demand for nut/seed butter and spreads has induced potential demand for tahini in the world. This, coupled with a significant increase in consumer preferences for tahini as an ingredient for salads, breakfast foods, and specifically sports drinks, like protein shakes, is driving the global tahini demand.
However, the fluctuating cost of sesame seeds creates hurdles for new manufacturers. For instance, the average price of tahini has escalated from EGP 46.4/ kg in Jan 2019 to around EGP 48.55/kg in January 2020, and it dropped to EGP 47.86 in July 2020, as stated by CAPMAS.
Scope of the Report
Tahini is a paste or spread made from ground sesame seeds. The global tahini market is segmented by geography into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Africa, Middle East. For each segment, the market sizing and forecast have been done based on value (in USD million).

Key Market Trends
Health Benefits and Taste-Enhancing Properties of Tahini
Tahini is recently gaining popularity in Western culture as one of the vital ingredients that make up good hummus. Besides hummus, tahini is also the base ingredient of numerous Middle Eastern dishes. Apart from its taste, it provides optimum health benefits. Owing to the enhanced usage of tahini with hummus, halva, and dips, among others, is escalating the market growth. Supplementing this, the market consumers expect innovation in their products in terms of consistency/ingredients/flavors. Adding to the evolving trend of flavored product consumption in the market is paving the way for product innovations in the market landscape. Thus in 2020, Mighty Sesame Co. introduced the harissa-flavored tahini variety to the UAE market, which contains a blend of 100% natural harissa spices for a distinctively aromatic, roasted-chili pepper flavor profile.
