“Surging Demand for Gluten-free Products Benefitting Target Market”
Rising demand for gluten-free products is expected to facilitate the growth of the grain & pulse derivatives market in the United States. Gluten content leads to adverse effects on human health, causing intestinal damage, indigestion, and chronic diarrhoea. Health-consciousness among consumers, coupled with rising awareness about gluten-free products, are driving the market in the U.S. Consumers are increasingly avoiding gluten-based products and opting for gluten-free products.
This rising health awareness has consequently augmented the consumption of gluten-free varieties of flour, such as sorghum flour, buckwheat flour, and pea & chickpea flour. Gluten-free flour is a fast expanding food category, representing that this market exhibits enormous growth possibilities over the forecast period.
“Increasing Consumer Preference for Nutritional and Sustainable Food Products”
Nutritional and sustainable diets are being gradually adopted by consumers. This is due to growing consumer awareness about what a healthy lifestyle entails. Consumers are opting for nutritional food products over conventional ones and are also prioritizing sustainable diets on account of the growing negative effects on the environment caused due to animal-based and dairy-based ingredients.
Cereal grains have high health beneficial properties, such as their role in reducing the risk of diabetes, obesity, and cancer. They are also regarded as environment-friendly alternatives. Grain ingredients are used in the food and beverages industry as they improve the nutritional profile of the product when used as a natural ingredient.
“'Made from Ancient Grains' Claim Influencing Sales of Food Products”
Ancient grains were vital for feeding early civilizations, a predilection for a few staple grains-wheat, rice, and corn-evolved over time. Unlike current crops, which have been selectively bred for generations, ancient grains have remained largely unmodified. Their rediscovery is providing customers with new whole grain and seed options, with a variety of flavors, textures, and visual appeal.
Manufacturers who can develop unique methods to use ancient grains in their offerings will be ready to fulfil this expanding demand as consumers learn more about the benefits of ancient grains, from their healthy nutrition profiles to their unique flavors and textures. Increasing food product launches that are made from these grains are offering growth opportunities to their producers.
“Availability of Low-priced Gluten-free Alternatives to Cereal Grains”
One of the major challenges for the cereal grain & pulse derivatives market is the price instability of grains due to several factors such as seasonal & climatic variations, and the negative impact of uneven cultivation and harvesting practices on crops.
Reduction in rainfall or uneven rainfall patterns also have an adverse effect on the yield of crops, which leads to high fluctuation in the prices of crops/grains. There have been pricing variations in chemicals & fertilizers and energy, which has led to a variation in the final prices of grains & pulses.
The availability of low-priced gluten-free alternatives to cereal grains may restrict market growth to some extent. Corn is one of the staple crops in the U.S. and holds a significant share in the overall flour market. Corn is largely produced in the U.S. and is also a major export commodity.
Corn is usually priced lower than other cereal grains and pulses. Lower price range and easy availability make it attractive for manufacturers of various processed food products.
However, increasing awareness about the benefits of food products made from cereal grains and pulses is outpacing the demand for corn and its derivatives.
