Grain Products Market Report 2025

The grain products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $391.32 billion in 2024 to $417.49 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to population growth and urbanization, changing consumer lifestyles, government subsidies and agricultural policies, culinary influences and ethnic foods, global trade and supply chain dynamics.

The grain products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $542.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to health and wellness considerations, sustainability practices, plant-based and alternative proteins, ancient grains and heritage varieties, dietary diversity and inclusion of multigrains. Major trends in the forecast period include innovative grain snacks, innovations in processing technologies, e-commerce and online retailing, innovations in packaging and portability, diverse flour blends.

The rising demand for local, sustainable, and organic food production is anticipated to have a positive impact on the dairy food market throughout the forecast period. Organic food production, including organic dairy products, emphasizes consumer health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. Consumers are increasingly concerned about how their food is raised and prepared, and many are willing to pay a premium for products they perceive as healthier. In Europe, the import rate for organic produce, particularly fruits and vegetables, is notably high due to production rates falling short of consumer demand. For example, in December 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal agency, reported that India produced 2.9 million metric tons of certified edible organic products for 2022-23. This growing demand for organic products presents significant opportunities for dairy producers in both developed and developing regions, likely driving the market during the forecast period.

The grain products market is poised for growth due to the increasing awareness of gluten-free food. Gluten, a protein composite found in certain grains such as wheat, barley, and rye, poses health risks for individuals with conditions such as celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), and wheat allergies. The awareness of gluten-related health concerns has expanded the consumer base for gluten-free products, prompting manufacturers to diversify their offerings in this category. In the United States, an estimated 3 million people have celiac disease, necessitating a strict gluten-free diet for medical reasons, while an additional 7% of U.S. shoppers strictly restrict gluten in their homes, with an additional 23% choosing to avoid gluten to some extent. This growing awareness of gluten-free options is a key driver for the grain products market.

Flour milling companies are leveraging Near-Infrared (NIR) analyzers to enhance production efficiency. NIR analyzers serve as analytical instruments designed to assess various parameters, such as moisture, protein, and fat, in food samples. Flour mills utilize NIR analyzers to analyze wheat and flour during different stages of the milling process, providing real-time access to quality control parameters. This technology aids in minimizing manufacturing errors, reducing downtimes, and minimizing rejections, ultimately enhancing the quality and consistency of flour. For example, Castle Mill, a UK-based flour milling company, employs NIR analyzers, including Perten Instruments' DA 7250 and FOSS' NIRS DS2500, for precise analysis in the flour milling industry.

Leading companies in the grain products market are concentrating on creating innovative, ready-to-use insecticide solutions for stored grains to protect against pests, reduce spoilage, and extend shelf life, thereby ensuring food quality and safety across the supply chain. A ready-to-use insecticide solution for stored grains is a pre-mixed, formulated insecticide specifically crafted to shield stored grains from pests like beetles, moths, and weevils. For instance, in January 2024, Central Life Sciences, a US-based company specializing in insect control products, launched Gravista-D, an insecticide designed for pest control in stored grains. This ready-to-use solution combines an adulticide with an insect growth regulator, effectively targeting a range of pests to provide long-lasting protection for various cereal grains.
