Global Functional Flour Market is estimated to reach $120billion by 2024; growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2016 to 2024. Flour is a finely ground powder, made from a variety of raw grains such as rice, oats, barley, corns, rye and peanuts and others. They are used for making food products and baked products. Wheat is the most commonly used among all the flours and is widely used in baking. It also contains additives in very small quantities. For instance, oxidizing agents such as potassium bromate, azodicarbonamide and chlorine dioxide are added to the flour to enrich the flour's baking quality. Pure wheat barn flour is the key source of minerals, dietary fiber, vitamin B6 and niacin, among all the other flour. Gluten-free flour which includes brown rice flour, coconut flour, almond flour and others are suitable for people who have gluten related disorders.

Expansion of restaurants and cafes, and changing lifestyle are also boosting the growth of the market.
