The global flour, rice and malt market grew from $137.42 billion in 2022 to $146.67 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The flour, rice and malt market is expected to grow to $183.33 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.7%. Many countries across the globe are experiencing falling prices of crops due to overcapacity. This is expected to result in low raw material costs for flour, rice, and malt manufacturing companies. For instance, in November 2022, according to the report Frontline, an India-based national magazine on agriculture, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs announced a bailout package of Rs 7000 crore for farmers involved in the sugar production sectors to fix the minimum selling price of refined sugar at Rs 29 per kilogram (prices dropped to Rs 23-24 recently due to overproduction) and to create a buffer stock of 3 million tonnes of sugar for one year. Thus, the overproduction of certain crops is likely to result in higher profit margins for food and beverage companies. Higher profit margins will enable flour, rice, and malt manufacturing companies to increase their productivity and drive the market going forward. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the flour, rice, and malt manufacturing markets in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally.

The grain products market is expected to grow to $428.24 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.5% The increasing demand for local, sustainable, and organic food production is expected to positively impact the dairy food market during the forecast period. Organic food production, including organic dairy products, places a strong emphasis on consumer health, environmental protection, and animal welfare. Consumers are now becoming more concerned with how food is raised and prepared and are willing to pay a little more for something they recognize as healthy. Across Europe, there is an extremely high import rate (especially for fruits and vegetables), as the rate of production is far lower than the consumer demand for organic produce. For instance, in June 2022, the Organic Trade Association, a US-based trade association representing over 9,500 organic businesses, between the years 2020 and 2021, organic sales increased by 2% surpassing $ 63 billion as compared to previous years. Additionally, the sales of organic dairy products and eggs remained largely unchanged through 2021, but they still surpassed 2019 sales by about 11%. This growing demand for organic products offers considerable opportunities for dairy product producers in both developed and developing countries, which is likely to drive the market during the forecast period. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the grain products market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and diffic ulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline.

However, it is expected that the grain products market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Flour milling companies are using NIR analyzersanalysers to improve production efficiency. A Near-Infrared (NIR) analyzeranalyser is an analytical instrument used to determine moisture, protein, fat, and other parameters in a food sample. NIR analyzersanalysers used in flour mills analyse wheat and flour for moisture, protein, and ash content. NIR analyzers monitor the grain in all the steps of a milling process and give real-time access to quality control parameters. This helps in minimising manufacturing errors, downtimes, and rejections, thus improving flour quality and consistency. For example, Castle Mill, a UK-based flour milling company, is using NIR analyzersanalysers to control the flour milling process. DA 7250, a NIR analyzeranalyser offered by Perten Instruments, and NIRS DS2500 by FOSS are also being used for analysis in the flour milling industry.

This gluten-free food research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global gluten free food market size will grow from $6.26 billion in 2022 to $7.01 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global gluten free food market size is expected to grow from $10.52 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.7%. The increasing incidence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and celiac disease is expected to contribute to a higher demand for gluten-free food products. Celiac disease is a severe genetic autoimmune disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and affects the absorption of nutrients from food. According to National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), an estimation of 3.0 million (1 in 133) Americans has celiac disease, however 83.0% of the 3 million Americans are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. A person suffering from IBS is sensitive to gluten, and consumption of gluten-containing foods aggravates the disease system. Therefore, the rising incidence of IBS and celiac diseases is projected to boost the demand for gluten-free food over the coming years. The high cost associated with the gluten free products in comparison with the gluten containing products is anticipated to limit the growth of the market over the coming years. The replacement of gluten-containing wheat with gluten-free wheat along with the requirement of additional ingredients such as inulin, guar gum, chicory, and oligo fructose increases the production cost for the manufacturers. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), on average, gluten-free items were 242% more expensive than regular products. This is likely to increase the price for consumers. which in turn is anticipated to restrain the growth of the gluten-free products market over the forecast period. The need for gluten-free products is driving innovation across the food industry, especially in the bakery sector. For instance, Veripan, a specialist in food products, announced the launch of a "breakthrough" all-purpose flour mix for gluten-free baking. This is a completely natural solution discovered to create gluten-free bakery products while avoiding crumbly textures, dryness, and off-flavors. This scenario is to provide ample growth opportunities for manufacturers' expansion in the global market. In January 2020, Fazer Group, a Finland-based food processor, acquired the bakery and milling business of Vuohela Delicacy. This acquisition aims towards strengthening Fazer’s in the gluten-free bakery products market in Finland. Vuohela Delicacy is engaged in producing gluten-free bakery products in Finland.

According to the National Library of Medicine, approximately 65% to 90% of adults are affected by lactose intolerance. Moreover, in Europe, 5% to 15% of the population is lactose intolerant. Therefore, an increasing number of people with lactose intolerance is anticipated to drive the demand for lactose-free food over the forecast period. The stiff competition from dairy alternatives is expected to limit the growth of the lactose-free food market. The availability of various dairy alternatives such as cheese, butter, ice-creams, milk made from soy, rice, almond, and other non-dairy ingredients is likely to take over the share of lactose-free food products. For instance, in 2020, global milk production reached nearly 906 million tonnes, up 2.1% from 2019. In addition to this, in 2020, international dairy trade increased by 1.2% to nearly 79 million tonnes (milk equivalent), principally due to increased imports by a few countries, namely China, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil. Therefore, competition from dairy products is expected to hinder the growth of the lactose-free food market during the period. The launch of new lactose-free products is a leading trend contributing to the market's expansion. In June 2022, Provilac, an India-based premium milk home delivery company, announced the launch of free-cow milk for those with a sensitive digestive system. Provilac’s lactose-free milk is produced by adding “Lactase”, a catalytic enzyme that breakdown lactose into glucose without jeopardizing the integrity of the milk.
