Moreover, it is the main component in a variety of goods, such as biscuits, bread, pastries and pasta.

The global wheat flour market is influenced by factors such as changing consumer preferences, population growth, and technological advancements in milling and distribution. With the widespread availability of wheat flour, many chefs, home chefs and experts alike, are experimenting with different recipes that feature wheat flour. Also, compared to flour derived from other grains, wheat flour is less expensive, making it more widely accessible to consumers from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

The rise in demand for convenience foods and bakery products has resulted in an increased consumption of wheat flour across the globe. Additionally, the growth in the has-food industry and the expansion of supermarket chains have further propelled the wheat flour market growth. It offers health advantages such as decreasing cholesterol levels, enhancing metabolism, preventing obesity, and controlling blood sugar levels. Thus, the prevalence of health-conscious consumers seeking whole grain and gluten-free alternatives has also contributed to the development of the global wheat flour market.

The Asia Pacific region is currently leading the global wheat flour market, with countries like China and India being the largest consumers. Rapid urbanisation, increased disposable income, and a shift in food habits are the primary drivers behind the market growth in this region. Consumers in the region are switching from rice-based products to wheat-based ones due to wheat's lower carbohydrate content than rice. Also, the strong demand for wheat flour in the packaged food business and HoReCa sector is being driven by the growing popularity of western meals like pizza, burgers, and pasta, among others.
