The global sesame seeds market was valued at USD 7.51 Billion in 2025. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.30% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 9.43 Billion by 2035.
The sesame seeds market growth is powered by rising demand for oil-rich superfoods and sustainable agricultural solutions. In the recent years, emerging economies have actively promoted sesame seed cultivation through digital traceability platforms, climate-resilient seed varieties, and blockchain-led export reforms. In India, the government’s Integrated Scheme for Oilseeds includes sesame under National Food Security Mission, offering cluster-based support and seed hubs across Telangana and Gujarat. According to industry reports, India exported over 600,000 tonnes in FY24, a 5% increase over the previous year, showing solid momentum.
Africa’s participation in the global sesame seeds market is also deepening. Ethiopia and Sudan are now integrating agri-drones and satellite soil scanning to modernise sesame farming. Ethiopia’s Agricultural Transformation Institute reported a significant increase in yield after AI-led seed monitoring tools were introduced in Amhara. Meanwhile, Japan’s soaring demand for white sesame is driving contract-farming partnerships in Nigeria and Tanzania, where solar-powered processing units are gaining traction for value-added exports.
Buyers across Europe and North America are now valuing non-GMO certification, carbon-neutral farming and deforestation-free sourcing in sesame trade agreements. This is shifting the global competitive landscape, away from volume-based trade toward traceability-led value chains, boosting the sesame seeds market development. High-protein sesame flour and spray-dried tahini powders are also disrupting conventional bakery and snack markets.

The sesame seeds market players are focused on direct farm engagement, quality differentiation, and by-product innovation. Firms are investing in AI-backed agronomy tools and traceability software to meet evolving import regulations. Carbon-neutral and organic certifications are opening up premium export channels. Technological upgrades in hulling, cleaning, and packaging are enabling mid-sized firms to compete in value-added segments.
Blockchain traceability, climate-resilient seeds, contract farming, AI-led processing, and functional by-products are reshaping the global trade from bulk raw exports to value-driven, traceability-led supply chains. Innovation is also emerging in sesame-based functional ingredients like protein powders, nutraceutical lignans, and cold-pressed condiments. As processors move closer to farms, contract models and microfinancing schemes are opening up opportunities for new partnerships. With EU tightening its pesticide residue limits, and the Middle East demanding high-purity tahini inputs, sesame seeds companies are inclining towards to smarter, vertically integrated sourcing and sustainable farming practices to gain a clear competitive edge.
