Driving Forces and Growth Prospects in the Booming Baobab Market

Increasing consumer demand for organic products is driving the Baobab Market. Buyers are demanding certified organic baobab as a sign of quality and reliability. In developing countries, baobab powder is traditionally obtained by breaking the baobab fruit, after which its pulp is scooped out. The pulp is then pounded by a pestle in a mortar to separate the powder. Then, the baobab powder is sieved and packed. In addition, through the production process, baobab powder is contaminated by dirt, stones, nuts, and other foreign matter.

 

Baobab oil is a highly moisturizing ingredient and light on the skin, which makes it oil for all seasons. Resultantly, the baobab market witnesses steady demand. Additionally, factors such as the increasing geriatric populace and growing uptake of baobab extracts in nutraceuticals provide a push to market growth.
