The top three revenue-generating product segments for the global cinnamon market are discussed below:
Ceylon cinnamon
Ceylon cinnamon, also known as true cinnamon, is native to Sri Lanka. It is obtained from the plant Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also known as Cinnamomum verum. Although Sri Lanka remains the largest producer of Ceylon cinnamon, on a commercial level, its cultivation is mostly done in Seychelles and Madagascar.
According to Atul Kumar, a lead food research analyst from Technavio, “Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, a naturally occurring substance, which may cause liver damage in some people. However, there is just a negligible presence of coumarin in Ceylon cinnamon, resulting in its increased consumption especially in North America. Ceylon cinnamon is also suitable for use on a regular basis, owing to its several health benefits.”
Cassia cinnamon
Cinnamomum cassia, also known as Cinnamomum aromaticaum, has its origin in China. It is widely cultivated in China and other eastern and southern parts of Asia. Cassia is one of the most-used varieties of cinnamon due to its low price in comparison to the high-grade Ceylon cinnamon. Cassia has dark reddish-brown bark with grayish traits and is hard, unlike the true cinnamon which is fragile.
Even though Cassia cinnamon has some properties that can prove to be beneficial to one's health, it is advised to not consume excessive amounts of Cassia cinnamon on a regular basis. This is due to the presence of coumarin in Cassia cinnamon, which is a liver-damaging substance that might even lead to cancer.
Saigon cinnamon
Saigon cinnamon, popularly known as Vietnamese cinnamon, originated in Vietnam. The scientific name of the spice is Cinnamomum loureiroi. It has a few similar properties of Cassia cinnamon. It is widely used in cooking as it contains volatile oils that lend a unique flavor to the dish. It is also widely used in the perfume industry, due to its unique flavor.
“Saigon cinnamon is priced higher than Cassia cinnamon but lower than Ceylon cinnamon. Unlike Ceylon cinnamon, which is obtained only from the inner bark of the tree, Saigon cinnamon is obtained from both inner and outer bark,” explains Atul.
