Baobab Powder Market Report

The global baobab powder market is foreseen to take advantage of the growing demand for baobab fruit because of its different health benefits. Known as the ‘tree of life’ in Africa, baobab can produce nutrient-dense fruits even in a dry season because of its ability to absorb and store water in its fat, thick trunk. Baobab powder is used in various products to help improve immunity, reduce anxiety, detox the liver, and increase energy. It contains vital minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. On the other hand, baobab fruit is rich in vitamin C.

Consumers are expected to give preference to African-origin baobab powder products in the coming years. MIA Foodie, a UK-based company that offers chocolate products produced in Africa, has collaborated with Proudly Made in Africa. Baobab and Salted Nibs chocolate bar is one of its popular products that contains baobab powder from Madagascar.

Increased Application in Sports Drinks to Strengthen Global Market Growth

High use of organic baobab powder in isotonic sports beverages to help athletes with quick supply of energy and electrolytes for their body is anticipated to create revenue opportunities for manufacturers. Baobab powder finds application in the skin care industry as it can protect the skin against damage from free radicals.
