Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, chicory production in South-eastern Asia increased from 4 994 t to 5 148 t, with the market volume reaching 5 109 t in 2020.

In 2021, production fell to 5 073 t and market volume dropped to 4 933 t. This decline was primarily driven by factory shutdowns and supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which temporarily constrained availability and reduced output.

Production stabilized around 5 100 t in 2022-2023, with market volume hovering near 5 090 t. The market was supported by growing consumer interest in health, convenience, and sustainability, as well as a resurgence of culinary roots and traditional ingredients. In 2024, rising demand for functional beverages containing chicory root for its digestive benefits and for premium organic foods continued to shape the market environment.
