Commercial flour refers to flour that has been milled and processed for widespread distribution and sale. It typically undergoes significant refinement and milling to achieve a consistent texture and quality, rendering it suitable for a variety of baking and cooking needs at commercial facilities. The increasing global population and rising disposable income levels have led to increased consumption of bakery products and processed foods, driving demand for flour. Health trends and dietary preferences push for diverse flour types such as whole wheat, gluten-free, and organic options, opening new market segments. The development of flour varieties with enhanced nutritional profiles, such as high-protein or fortified with vitamins and minerals, is crucial for market growth. However, price volatility of raw materials and concerns over food safety and standards are significant hurdles to market expansion. The increasing consumer shift towards low-carb and gluten-free diets could limit the demand for traditional wheat flour, posing a substantial challenge to market growth.

Source: Increasing preference for rice flour in gluten-free diets

Wheat flour is preferred for numerous staples, including bread, pastries, and other baked goods, making it the most widely used type worldwide. Corn flour, distinguished by its finer milling process, offers a distinct texture and flavor, commonly employed in the production of tortillas, tamales, and as a thickening agent. Rye flour, known for its dark color and rich flavor, is primarily used in rye bread and other traditional European bakery products, offering a healthier alternative due to high fiber content. Rice flour, a staple in gluten-free diets, is preferred for its light and delicate texture, making it an ideal ingredient for producing rice noodles, and certain baked goods, and as a thickening agent in various recipes.

End-user: Rising demand from food industry for maintaining production needs

Catering services require versatile flour options that can accommodate various culinary applications, from baking bread to creating sauces. Specialty flours with health attributes (whole grain, gluten-free) are on the rise, catering to niche dietary preferences for consumers. The food industry utilizes commercial flour with consistent quality, specific gluten content, and grain type to suit the production needs of pasta, cereals, and processed snacks. The industry favors flour producers that guarantee large volumes, stable pricing, and adherence to food safety standards. Hotels and restaurants need high-quality, distinctive flour types to create signature dishes and baked goods. There's a growing inclination towards local and heritage grain flours that offer a unique selling point to their menus in the hotel industry.
