In 2023, the supply of sunflower seed calories per capita per day in the US stood at 3.9 kilocalories. Forecasts for the period 2024 to 2028 indicate a slight decline, with a stable 3.9 kilocalories from 2024 to 2025, followed by a decrease to 3.8 kilocalories from 2026 onwards. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.6% starting from 2025. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a gradual reduction in supply over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier snack options could influence demand.
Fluctuations in sunflower seed production and supply chain variables could impact availability.
Policy changes regarding agricultural subsidies could also alter market dynamics.
