Grain Products Market Report 2026

The grain products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $394.51 billion in 2025 to $415.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of staple food consumption, growth of milling and processing infrastructure, increasing population growth, rising urban food demand, availability of diverse grain varieties.

The grain products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $527.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on nutritional grain products, rising demand for gluten-free alternatives, expansion of packaged food markets, growing investments in food processing technology, increased consumer awareness of grain nutrition. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for whole and specialty grains, growing adoption of fortified grain products, expansion of processed and ready-to-cook grain foods, enhanced focus on traceability and quality control, rising innovation in grain-based snacks.

The increasing demand for local, sustainable, and organic food production is expected to positively influence the dairy food market during the forecast period. Organic food production, including organic dairy, emphasizes consumer health, environmental protection, and animal welfare. Consumers are increasingly concerned about how food is produced and are willing to pay a premium for products perceived as healthy. In Europe, high import rates - especially for fruits and vegetables - reflect production levels that fall short of consumer demand for organic produce. For example, in December 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal agency, reported that India produced 2.9 million metric tons of certified edible organic products for 2022-23. This growing demand for organic products provides significant opportunities for dairy producers in both developed and developing countries, likely driving market growth during the forecast period.

Leading companies in the grain products market are concentrating on creating innovative, ready-to-use insecticide solutions for stored grains to protect against pests, reduce spoilage, and extend shelf life, thereby ensuring food quality and safety across the supply chain. A ready-to-use insecticide solution for stored grains is a pre-mixed, formulated insecticide specifically crafted to shield stored grains from pests like beetles, moths, and weevils. For instance, in January 2024, Central Life Sciences, a US-based company specializing in insect control products, launched Gravista-D, an insecticide designed for pest control in stored grains. This ready-to-use solution combines an adulticide with an insect growth regulator, effectively targeting a range of pests to provide long-lasting protection for various cereal grains.
