Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and cultivation volume-to-revenue analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 55+ key cultivators, processors, and distributors across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa
Product mapping across rose, hibiscus, jasmine, marigold, lavender, pansies, and other flower type categories
Application-level mapping across foods (salads, desserts, baked goods, confectionery), beverages (teas, cocktails, infused waters, functional drinks), garnish (plating, food styling, event catering), and others (cosmeceutical ingredients, aromatherapy, nutraceuticals)
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to edible flower portfolios, including fresh-cut, freeze-dried, crystallized, and powdered formats
Coverage of manufacturers and growers representing 72-78% of the global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (cultivation hectarage × yield per hectare × wholesale price by country/region, adjusted for processing loss and value-add margins) and top-down (manufacturer and distributor revenue validation against trade flow data) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations for each flower type and application category
