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.
