Trends Shaping the Market

• Flavor profile segmentation: Sweet remains the largest flavor segment >40% share in 2024, but nutty, toasty, and biscuity flavors are growing as consumers seek more complex taste profiles.

Innovations & Future Opportunities

• Sustainability & organic sourcing: As more consumers demand sustainably produced and organic products, maltsters who can provide organic rye, transparent sourcing, and eco-friendly processing may benefit.
• Expanding in emerging markets: India, China, and parts of Asia Pacific are markets to watch: both for brewing culture and demand for baked goods and confectionery with flavor differentiation.
