Malted Wheat Flour Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
Increased consumer expenditure on bakery and confectionery items is anticipated to drive the malted wheat flour market’s expansion. Bakery goods are defined as flour-based foods cooked in an oven, whereas confectionery encompasses sugar-based foods and desserts. Malted wheat flour is predominantly utilized in bread production and other food applications. For example, in November 2023, the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), a Canada-based government department, reported that the principal suppliers of baked goods to the U.K. included France, with exports amounting to US$548.0 million (15.2% market share) and 157.0 million kilograms, succeeded by Belgium, which exported US$475.6 million (13.2% market share) and 137.7 million kilograms. That year, the U.K. was recognized as the second-largest market for baked goods, with total imports reaching US$3.6 billion and 1.1 billion kilograms. Therefore, an uptick in consumer spending on bakery and confectionery products is expected to boost demand for malted wheat flour over the forecast period.
