Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Health Benefits:
Millets are quickly becoming the food for the future with their great nutrition profile. They are loaded with nutrients, such as protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, especially B vitamins, and minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium). Also, since they are gluten free, they will be the best option for individuals with gluten intolerances like Celiac disease. Most millets have a low glycemic index, which means they help in the management of the blood sugar, which helps diabetes patients and those who monitor their blood sugar levels daily. As the average consumer has become more health-oriented with a growing focus on nutrient dense foods, millets can also be viewed as a superfood category of food. It supports the current trends in clean eating and the desire for functional food products as reported in the market.
- Sustainable Agriculture:
Millets are robust crops that thrive in arid and semi-arid conditions. They are drought tolerant and require significantly less water than staple grains such as rice and wheat, making them a sustainable option. Climate change is presenting major challenges to food security and agricultural productivity, and millets offer a sustainable solution to address issues associated with sustainable practices in food production. Their capacity to survive poor soil and dry weather can lower the need for chemical fertilizers and irrigation, and this aligns with the increasing move towards sustainable agricultural approaches. More consumers want to eat sustainable food for global environmental issues, and there is growing political will towards reducing climate change and promoting sustainable farming solutions, is directly influencing market growth.
- Rising Demand for Organic Products:
The increased appetite for organic has driven changes in the demand for food and the types of products consumers use. Millets are often grown bio-organically and recognized as piles of health benefits and environmental sustainability. As consumers become more discerning regarding their food choices, they are looking for products free of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs. With the organic consumption trend growing, more opportunities exist in markets for millet producers. An increasing number of farmers are switching to organic cultivation methods to supply this demand, resulting in a recent expansion of organic millet products including flour, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. The organic millet market is becoming very well established while helping consumers expand their choices and further supports sustainable cultivation methods to sustainably expand the whole millet market.
