Functional Flour Market is expected to Generate Huge Profits by 2022: Vendors- Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland Company, Bunge Limited, Associated British Foods PLC, General Mills

Market Overview

Many baking recipes, among other applications, utilize a combination of hard wheat and soft wheat flours, commonly known as “all-purpose” flour. However, the increasing awareness of gluten’s negative effects in cases of sensitivity or low tolerance has prompted the substitution of wheat flour, by some percentage per recipe, with other types of flour and ingredients. Wheat-germ flour is higher in proteins, vitamins and minerals, and can replace one third of wheat flour in most recipes. Other non-wheat substitutes include rye flour, oat flour, rice flour and corn flour among others. Both rice flour and corn flour have nearly half the amount of protein as wheat flour and also do not form gluten. Both these flours are deemed good substitutes of all-purpose flour. Furthermore, functional flours based on rice and other pulses are used as bakery ingredients.

Functional Flours or specialty flours are commonly referred for hydro-thermally treated specialty flours. Such flours are often abbreviated as HT flours. Obtained with modern technology such as hydro-thermal post-treatments include extrusion, thin layer drying or roller drying, Functional Flours are characterized by their functional properties adapted to the specific application. The modifications are mostly related to solubility parameters and viscosity profile, depending on the consumer’s requirements. Functional flours improve health and provide enhanced health benefits, beyond that of the nutrients found in flour. Functional flour may also include flours that are fortified with vitamins, herbs, and even nutraceuticals.

Functional Flours are extensively used in various baked and ready-to-eat food items which is driving the market to a great extent.  The rise in demand from processed food industries is providing impetus to the growth of the Functional Flours Market. Rise in consumer spending on processed food products is likely to foster the market growth. However, factors such as labeling regulations and stringent government regularities pertaining to health claims, and gluten-free food products are anticipated to pose as a challenge to the market growth of Functional Flours.  Additionally, high cost of raw material, such as products produced from domain source crops may also be responsible to restrict the growth of functional flour market.
