Malt Manufacturing in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

About the Malt Manufacturing Market

The malt manufacturing market constitutes a specialized segment within the broader sugar and sweeteners industry. Malt is a product derived from the germination and kilning of cereals, most commonly barley, where the natural enzymes transform the cereal's starches into sugars, primarily maltose. In contrast to refined sugars and artificial sweeteners, malt is considered a whole grain sweetener, providing flavor, color, and nutritional benefits. It is a key ingredient in the production of beer and whiskey, and is also used in a variety of food products such as malt vinegar, confections, baked goods, and breakfast cereals. Industry participants range from agricultural companies engaged in the cultivation of raw materials to specialized maltsters who focus on the processing and production of malt products. This sector works closely with food and beverage manufacturers to ensure the supply of quality malt that meets the specific flavor profile and technical requirements of their end products. Within the malt manufacturing market, several entities have established themselves as leaders or important players. Some of these include Malteurop Group, which is one of the largest malt producers; Boortmalt, an international company specializing in malt production for brewers and distillers; Cargill, which through its various divisions, offers malt products for diverse uses; and GrainCorp Malt, a prominent supplier of malt to global beer and whisky markets.
