The domestic consumption of sunflower in the US is forecasted to grow modestly from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 1.2 to 1.23 million metric tons. Year-on-year variations show minor growth, with a stable progression and a noticeable plateau between 2026 and 2027. The CAGR is expected to be low, indicating steady but sluggish demand increase. As of 2023, actual data reflects similar minimal growth trends which continue into the forecasted years, indicating consumption is maintaining rather than accelerating momentum.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards healthier oils, competition with other oilseeds, and any policy changes affecting agricultural production or import-export dynamics that could impact supply chains and pricing structures.
