• The toasted flour market is forecasted to grow to $102.75 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 9.7%.
Growth is attributed to increasing demand for premium baked goods, a focus on health and wellness, and the rise in popularity of non-wheat-based flour. Trends include technological advancements, gluten-free options, sustainability-driven sourcing, and new packaging solutions.
The surge in desire for baked goods is likely to fuel the expansion of the toasted flour market in the future. This category of foodstuff, which includes items such as bread, cakes, muffins, and pastries that are typically baked, is experiencing growing popularity. Factors like a preference for ready-to-consume food, a variety of taste options, specialized artistry, health-conscious ingredients, and cultural food traditions contribute to this popularity. Toasted flour amplifies these baked goodies by lending a distinctive roasted and nutty flavor, enhancing their depth, complexity, and visual appeal. For instance, data from the United States Department of Agriculture, a federal executive department in the US, showed that the export value of consumer baked goods from the US was 2,768 billion in 2023, a rise from 2,704 billion in 2022. Consequently, the heightened demand for baked goods is catalyzing the expansion of the toasted flour market.
