Rye Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The health benefits of rye is notably driving the rye market growth, although factors such as rapid climatic changes may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the rye industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Rye Market Driver
The health benefits of rye is one of the factors driving the rye market share growth. Obesity is a primary concern across all regions, where a substantial portion of the population has the condition. Moreover, heart diseases are one of the most prevalent diseases globally. To reduce the rising occurrences of such diseases, people have started adopting healthy lifestyles. The health-conscious population base demands foods with the optimal combination of essential nutrients. Significantly, rye has the highest content of dietary fibers. Owing to their high fiber content, they help maintain blood cholesterol levels and keep the heart healthy. Thus, the increased demand for healthy products with high dietary fiber and bioactive compound contents may drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Rye Market Trend
The increasing demand for fiber-rich food products is another factor supporting the rye market growth. Among cereals, rye has the highest content of dietary fiber. Rye flour is used in bakery products to give them a different flavor and increase their fiber content. This trend is gradually gaining traction with the increasing use of rye whole grains in baked goods like muffins, crackers, cupcakes, and biscuits. For instance, the popularity of bread made using rye grains is increasing due to its many benefits. This type of bread is beneficial for people who are mildly sensitive to gluten and those who face difficulty digesting regular bread. The grains are sprouted before adding them to the flour. Sprouting also increases the number of key nutrients, such as vitamin B, vitamin C, folate, fibers, and certain amino acids. Such benefits will encourage the adoption of rye whole grain products and drive the market's growth during the forecast period.
Key Rye Market Challenge
The rapid climatic changes is hindering the rye market growth. The adverse impacts of climate change can reduce grain production in various regions that affect food security in multiple countries. Meanwhile, the rising temperature can reduce grains' growth period and the average yield of grains. Additionally, the increase in temperature can affect nutrient levels, soil moisture, and water availability. On the other hand, a 1°Celsius increase in temperature during the growth cycle can reduce the growth period of rice by around four days. Such adverse effects of climate may reduce grain production, which will hinder the market's growth during the forecast period.
