The ancient and specialty grain flour market was valued at US$ 2.6 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at 5.6% CAGR over the forecast years to reach US$ 3.8 billion by 2030. Attention to trends in health and wellness, gluten-free, organic, and non-GMO, ethnic and specialty diets, and innovations in baking and cooking all point to the fact that the market in ancient and specialty grain flours is on a tremendous rise. Growing consumer awareness of the health and nutritional benefits places a high demand on ancient grains like quinoa, spelt, amaranth, and millet. Most of the time, these grains represent dense sources of dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Another important driver for Quinoa, Buckwheat, and Amaranth are types of alternative flours is an increased incidence of gluten intolerance and celiac disease. On the other hand, increasing consumer preference for organic and non-GMO supports ancient and specialty grains, which are grown organically most of the time. Interest in various culinary traditions and special diets helped to give other grains, such as teff, sorghum, and fonio, a boost. Home baking trends and the development of artisanal food products drove interest in trying different types of flour. However, it is high production costs, limited awareness and availability, supply chain problems, and sensitivity to price that hinder the growth of the ancient specialty flour market. Opportunities in product innovation, market expansion, and collaborations/partnerships present a significant growth. The functional foods/superfoods, plant-based/vegan diets, the clean label movement, and the rise of small-scale production are the recent trends seen in the market that shape the future of the ancient and specialty grain flour market.

Ancient and Specialty Grain Flour Market Dynamics

The ancient and specialty grain flour market is growing due to ancient grains, being nutritionally dense, having been promoted as superfoods, and fitting squarely into the trend of functional foods that provide more than just sustenance. Plant-based and vegan diets now command such a majority of the marketplace momentum that demand reacts to diverse plant-based ingredients, including grains, a specialty flour. With increasing consumer demand for clean-label products that do not contain artificial additives and preservatives, natural and ideally minimally processed ancient grains will present an increasingly favorable ingredient to work with. Other key drivers are growing interest in artisanal food products—small-scale production techniques allied with distinctive raw materials, such as ancient grains, are highly valued. The potential for new product development featuring ancient and specialty grain flours will easily continue to appeal to health-oriented consumers looking for novelty in their foods. On the other hand, growth can be fuelled by deeper penetration into emerging markets where traditional grains form part of local diets.
