The increasing demand for bakery products is expected to propel the growth of the toasted flour market going forward. Bakery products encompass a variety of food items, such as bread, cakes, muffins, and pastries that are typically baked in an oven. The rising popularity of bakery products can be attributed to increasing demand for convenient, ready-to-eat foods, diverse flavor options, artisanal craftsmanship, health-conscious ingredient choices, and cultural culinary trends. Toasted flour enhances bakery products by imparting a unique nutty and roasted flavor while adding depth, complexity, and an appealing appearance. For instance, in February 2024, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal executive department, in 2023, US consumer baked goods export value was 2.76 trillion, up from 2.7 trillion in 2022. Therefore, the increasing demand for bakery products is driving the growth of the toasted flour market.

The expansion of ready-to-eat and convenience foods is expected to propel the growth of the toasted flour market going forward. Ready-to-eat and convenience foods refer to pre-prepared meals or food products that can be consumed immediately or with minimal heating. Demand for these foods is increasing as more consumers, particularly urban professionals and single-person households, lead busy lifestyles and prefer quick and easy meal options. Toasted flour supports manufacturers in producing shelf-stable breads, flatbreads, wraps, and mixes that align well with ready-to-eat and convenience food formats. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Systemiq consortium, a Brussels-based sustainability initiative, ready-made meals accounted for approximately 17% of all calories consumed in the EU in 2023. Therefore, the growing consumption of ready-to-eat foods is directly driving demand for ingredients such as toasted flour that are used in convenient, ready-to-serve products.

This innovative flour blend boasts three times the gut-healthy fiber in traditional refined wheat flour, supporting digestive health without compromising taste, functionality, or quality.
