In 2023, global cinnamon production was led by Indonesia and China, both contributing significantly with shares of 35.14% and 34.43% respectively. Vietnam and Sri Lanka followed as notable producers with 18.19% and 10.61%. Madagascar, East Timor, Grenada, Sao Tome and Principe, and Dominica made up the residual production share, collectively accounting for less than 2%. Year-on-year, from 2022 to 2023, saw notable production variation with Vietnam experiencing a growth of 3.88%, whereas Indonesia had a modest increase of 0.38%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years suggests a steady expansion in these regions.
Looking forward, the demand for cinnamon is expected to rise, driven by the growing popularity of natural and organic spices. Innovations in agricultural techniques and expanding markets in Asia and North America may further enhance production growth, with emerging producers potentially increasing market share. Monitoring climate change impacts and sustainability practices will be crucial for maintaining production stability.
