Wheat Flour Market Analysis
The wheat flour market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.
The rising popularity of processed foods among worldwide consumers is driving market growth as wheat flour is one of the key ingredients used in many convenience foods, including bakery products such as bread, snacks such as biscuits, waffles, and ready-to-eat meals. Due to the expanding food industry and better economic situations, consumers in both developed and emerging nations are more likely to favor ready-to-eat packed meals.
Moreover, wheat flour is used extensively owing to the presence of gluten, a protein that provides strength and elasticity to the dough as well as adds to the texture of baked products. The flour enhances the food product's texture and flavor characteristics. Therefore, the popularity of instant foods such as instant noodles, and ready-to-cook tortillas among others are driving the growth of the wheat flour market. Additionally, the high demand for clean-label food ingredients due to the increased health consciousness among consumers is driving the demand for different variants in wheat flour such as gluten-free wheat flour, organic wheat flour, and fortified wheat flour globally.
