India is the world's largest producer of moringa (Moringa oleifera), supplying leaf powder, seeds, seed oil and tea cuts.
In Europe, moringa is sold as a superfood, food supplement and cosmetic ingredient. Vegan and plant-based diets, clean-label foods and organic demand are pushing growth. Moringa oleifera is not a 'novel food' in the EU, so it can be sold without special pre-approval.
Europe's moringa products market is expected to add more than USD 1.84 billion over 2025–2030. Growth is driven by health-conscious consumers, plant-based protein demand and new products such as moringa bars, drinks and protein blends.
