The global wheat market size reached a consumption value of around USD 161.32 billion in 2023. The consumption is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% in the forecast period of 2024-2032.
Wheat is an essential type of cereal cultivated in temperate regions, the grain of which is crushed to produce flour for making products like bread, pasta, and pastry, among others. Wheat is cultivated in a larger area when compared to other crops and is also a major source of carbohydrates. In addition, it is rich in major nutrients like protein, dietary fibre, manganese, phosphorus, and vitamin B.
Wheat belongs to the genus Triticum and includes several species, the most commonly cultivated being common wheat (Triticum aestivum). It is an annual plant, typically harvested in the temperate regions of the world. Wheat has been cultivated for over 10,000 years and was one of the first crops to be domesticated in the Near East's Fertile Crescent. It played a key role in the development of ancient civilisations.
Wheat is rich in carbohydrates, making it an important energy source. It also contains protein, dietary fibre, and various vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. As a major food crop, wheat is crucial to the global food supply. It is traded internationally and has a significant impact on the world's economy. The price and availability of wheat can affect food prices and security worldwide.

The major wheat-producing regions include the European Union, China, India, Russia, and the United States, with the European Union accounting for a fifth of the total global wheat output. Russia, along with the European Union, the United States, Canada, and Australia exports large volumes of the crop to other regions. Russia is the leading exporter of the crop, accounting for nearly 18.5% of the total global exports of the crop. The output level especially in Russia and the European Union is rising owing to consumption growth and low harvest in the United States. The growing end-use sectors in Southeast Asia and potential export growth in Russia are providing a push to production growth and boosting the supply share globally.
The major consuming regions for wheat include the European Union, accounting for nearly 45% of the global consumption. Other major consumers of wheat include China, India, Russia, and the United States. The European Union also imports wheat to meet the regional wheat demand. Egypt, Indonesia, Brazil, and Algeria are among the major importing regions.
The global wheat market demand is being aided by the growing wheat starch market, which reached a volume of around 5 million metric tons in 2020. The starch market is likely to witness steady growth in the coming years, which is expected to further propel the demand for wheat. The major wheat starch-producing regions are France, the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, and Japan.
The market for wheat, based on type, is divided into:
Flour occupies a substantial portion of the wheat market share. As the global population increases, the demand for basic food items like wheat flour typically rises. This is because wheat flour is a staple ingredient in many diets around the world. Changes in dietary trends can significantly impact wheat flour demand. For instance, a rise in the popularity of baking or an increased preference for wheat-based products can drive up demand.
The supply of wheat is heavily dependent on agricultural conditions, such as weather patterns, climate change, and farming practices. A good harvest can lead to increased supply and potentially lower prices, boosting demand. Government decisions regarding agriculture can also increase the overall wheat flour demand.

Based on application, the market is segmented into:
Biofuel is also expected to witness considerable growth in the market in the coming years. The use of wheat as a biofuel primarily revolves around the production of bioethanol, a renewable energy source. Wheat-based ethanol is renewable and can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Burning wheat ethanol produces fewer greenhouse gases compared to conventional fuels, thus contributing to reduced environmental impact. In regions with surplus wheat production, converting wheat to bioethanol can provide an alternative market for farmers.
Additionally, research is ongoing to improve the fermentation and distillation processes, making wheat ethanol production more efficient and cost-effective. Developing wheat strains that yield more biomass or have a higher starch content can enhance the viability of wheat as a biofuel source.
The EMR report also covers the regional markets of wheat like North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.
The global wheat market growth is being driven by the demand from the food sector, which is rapidly growing across all the regions with the increasing disposable income of the population, especially in developing nations like India and China. With globalisation, the prevalence of processed food has seen a faster growth and, thus, is driving the demand for wheat. The crop is a staple food product in many regions, especially in India, among other Asian countries.
The growing demand for the product is being aided by the rapidly rising population, which has an increasing demand for both wheat and its starch. The global wheat market is being driven by the growing starch market. The demand for wheat starch has been witnessing a healthy growth for many years and the growth is likely to be more in the coming years, owing to the increasing popularity of processed food.
Wheat starch is also in demand among health-conscious people due to the product being gluten-free and low in calorie content. Additionally, wheat also provides protein, vitamin B, dietary fibre, and phytochemicals. The increasing demand for personal care products including dry shampoo, cleansers, and lotions, is further pushing the wheat starch market, and thus, driving the overall wheat market growth.
The growing demand for animal feed is also providing an impetus to the market. The demand for processed flour is also rising due to the growing food and beverage sector. The increasing utilisation of wheat in the production of processed foods owing to its unique viscoelastic and adhesive properties is likely to aid the market.
The increasing import and export of wheat are accelerating the market development. Also, the government initiatives to boost the production of wheat in order to make the country self-sufficient and improve food security are some of the crucial wheat market trends aiding the market expansion. For instance, the National Food Security Mission (NFSM) in India aims to increase the production of wheat and other food grains through productivity enhancement and soil fertility restoration. The efforts taken to provide novel and improved crop production technologies and the distribution of high-yielding varieties/hybrid seeds are expected to augment the market growth over the forecast period.
