Global Whole Grain Foods Market Driven by Healthy Trend

The global whole grain foods market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.71% during the period 2017-2021, according to the report “Global Whole Grain Foods Market 2017-2021” recently launched by Research and Markets.

One of the major drivers for this market is the growing significance of the health benefits of whole grain foods. The importance of healthy and nutritious foods has increased in recent times, especially in countries that are facing health issues like obesity and diabetes. Obesity is a major concern in developed countries like the US. To decrease the occurrence of such health problems, consumers are now incorporating healthy food habits in their lifestyle, the analysts comment.

The reduced fiber intake is one of the major reasons for the occurrence of such health problems among consumers. To increase dietary fiber, consumers are looking for high-fiber foods and whole grain foods are in high demand because of their high fiber content. Fiber content not only helps in digestion but also balances blood sugar levels, which helps in maintaining the overall wellbeing of consumers.

The key vendors are mentioned to be Cargill, Cereal Ingredients (CII), Flowers Foods, Hodgson Mill and Kellogg.
