The rising sales of organic food are expected to drive the growth of the organic flour market in the future. Organic food consists of items grown and processed without synthetic chemicals or genetically modified organisms, emphasizing environmentally friendly practices, animal welfare, and biodiversity preservation. The increasing popularity of organic food is fueled by heightened consumer health awareness, a commitment to sustainable practices, and concerns regarding pesticide use, resulting in greater demand for chemical-free products. Organic flour plays a vital role in the organic food sector by providing a sustainably sourced, chemical-free ingredient that enhances the nutritional value and quality of baked goods. For example, in May 2023, the Organic Trade Association, a non-profit organization based in the US, reported that organic food sales in the United States surpassed $60 billion for the first time in 2022, marking a significant milestone for the thriving organic sector. Overall, organic sales, including non-food items, reached a record high of $67.6 billion. Thus, the increasing sales of organic food are driving growth in the organic flour market.
The organic flour market is expected to experience growth driven by an increase in disposable income.

In December 2022, the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation reported a rise in disposable incomes, reaching 274.13 million in 2022 from 238.57 million in 2021. Global projections indicate a 2.6% increase in disposable incomes and family spending in 2022. Therefore, the escalating disposable incomes are a key driver of growth in the organic flour market.
