Banana Flour Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The increase in the production of unripe bananas is notably driving the banana flour market growth, although factors such as costly substitutes may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Banana Flour Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the banana flour market growth is the increase in the production of unripe bananas. Banana production accounts for approximately 17% of the total global fruit production and is the second-largest fruit produced after citrus fruits. Owing to excess banana production, large volumes of bananas are wasted annually. Therefore, the food industry is undertaking various measures to increase utilization and process excess stock into products such as banana flour. In India, about 30% of the 16.8 million tons of bananas produced annually are wasted due to post-harvest damage and losses. Banana flour is an excellent solution to this problem. Various vendors are taking advantage of this problem and processing this excess stock into banana flour. Consumers prefer unripe owing to its texture and nutrient content. Thus, the utilization of excess stock of unripe bananas for processing into banana flour is expected to drive growth in the market during the forecast period. Moreover, unripe banana flour is witnessing a high demand as it is rich in resistant starch; therefore, a lesser quantity can match the fiber content in regular flour.

Key Banana Flour Market Trend

Another key factor driving the banana flour market growth is the increasing adoption of banana flour in the baking industry. Owing to the high insoluble fiber content in banana flour, about 30% lesser flour is required in food preparation than regular flour. Therefore, it is becoming popular in baked goods production on its own or in combination with other flour. In the baking industry, wheat flour is increasingly being replaced, among other substitutes. Banana flour is gaining wide acceptance in the preparation of brownies, cookies, or waffles. Banana flour has a mild undistinguishable banana flavor. Moreover, it imparts a light, fluffy texture to the batter or dough, which is suitable for baked products. Thus, the increasing adoption of banana flour owing to its beneficial characteristics is expected to drive growth in the market during the forecast period.

Key Banana Flour Market Challenge

Costly substitute is one of the key challenges hindering the banana flour market growth. Banana peel constitutes 40% of the weight of a banana, but this goes unutilized. Producing banana flour from green bananas is a costly process. Therefore, it is an expensive substitute compared with other common grain-based flour. They can be used on their own and do not need to be blended with other flour. Wheat or corn flour is more popular among consumers than banana flour. Wheat flour is a cheaper alternative to banana flour as it is produced in abundance; therefore, it is a staple in most households. Currently, is priced higher than other gluten-free flour on the market. Therefore, corn, wheat, and white rice flour are more commonly used in the production of cookies, noodles, cakes, and energy bars. For bulk production in restaurants and giant food chains, chefs prefer inexpensive flour and, therefore, grain-based flour is used. These factors pose a challenge to growth in the banana flour market.
