The U.S. Market for Whole and Other Grains: Trends and Developments

cookies1
In the vast global food industry, grains play a critical role in every aspect of food production. Much of our food supply hinges on the continuous and successful flow of grain production and distribution, from seed to farm to mill to food processor to end customer. In 2008, U.S. retail sales of core grain foods (flour, rice, oatmeal/hot cereal, and dry grains) reached $5 billion, a 17% increase over 2007.

According to Packaged Facts' The U.S. Market for Whole and Other Grains: Trends and Developments, the key market drivers relevant to the whole grains market in early 2009 are:

  • Economy. The deteriorating economy is driving consumers to cook, bake and eat at home, and to choose less expensive options that often include grains.

  • Whole Grains. The low-carb fad is fading as health-minded eaters re-integrate grains and grain foods in the diet, especially whole grains. If these can be packaged with added convenience, that’s a plus.

  • Fiber. As more people become aware of the health benefits of a high-fiber diet, whole grains, or refined grains with fiber added, can be a flavorful source of dietary fiber.

  • Gluten-Free. The market is expanding for wheat-free and gluten-free foods, leading manufacturers to offer ancient/alternative grains as well as more foods made with rice and oats.

The U.S. Market for Whole and Other Grains: Trends and Developments focuses on market trends and market drivers for consumers. In addition, The U.S. Market for Whole and Other Grains: Trends and Developments explores the role of grains, especially wheat, in the global commodity markets, and how new trends such as grain-based ethanol production affects the food industry.

The report also takes an in-depth look at market trends for specialty grains, including organic grains and the so-called “ancient grains,” such as amaranth, teff, spelt, and quinoa, which are rapidly gaining recognition and popularity among consumers. Some of these grains are gluten-free, making them of special interest as the market for those with food allergies and sensitivities grows.
