Global flour consumption exceeds 300 million metric tons annually, with Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India, representing the largest consumer markets, driving significant demand for wheat and other flours. The North American market showcases a diverse flour landscape, with significant consumption of wheat flour in baked goods, but also growing interest in specialty flours like almond and oat flour, reflecting evolving consumer preferences. A 2019 study from the UK revealed that replacing 50% of refined flour with oat flour in bread recipes resulted in a 30% reduction in the glycemic index, improving blood sugar control.
