Description

Maize Market Size:

Global Maize Market is expected to grow at a 2.83% CAGR, increasing to USD 352.288 billion by 2030 from USD 306.357 billion in 2025.

The most significant crop according to hybrid breeding is maize. More cereals are in demand as a result of the expanding meat industry, particularly maize, and soybean, which are both excellent sources of protein for feeding animals. The cultivation of maize has expanded around the world because it is a type of annual plant with a high productivity rate and the extraordinary key quality of regional adaptation. In terms of total crop output, maize ranks third, and it is increasingly the most widely planted crop worldwide. Although being one of the most important crops, only a small portion of maize is consumed by people; instead, it is mostly used as animal feed. In the chemical, pharmaceutical, culinary, and animal feed industries, maize has a wide range of uses.

More than 95% of all feed grain production and consumption in the US is accounted for by corn. It accounts for 39% of the world's grain production and is planted on over 190 million hectares in roughly 165 nations with a broad variety of management techniques. The grain is largely utilized for livestock and feed. The area per corn farm has expanded recently, despite a fall in the number of cornfield farms.

Plants with high starch or sugar content are fermented to create ethanol, which may be used in place of gasoline and diesel fuel right away. Given its high starch content, maize is the primary source of ethanol. The market is expanding as a result of the increased use of maize in the manufacturing of biofuels. Although maize is a fantastic source of protein and delicious food, consuming it excessively may also lead to health issues and difficulties, including allergic responses, bloating, and gas, and is dangerous for diabetic individuals.

The market is anticipated to rise as a result of increased urea production, increased feed consumption, and widespread usage of corn-based biofuels. A massive shift in consumer preferences towards more protein-rich foods and diets has also been brought on by rising health consciousness in both developed and developing nations. This has increased demand for all kinds of feed grains, including maize, and is fueling the expansion of the global maize market.

Maize Market Growth Drivers:

• An increase in the need for sources of animal protein

Global livestock consumption has increased as a result of urbanization, growing affluence in emerging countries, and population expansion. The consumption of milk, meat, and eggs, which is rising at the cost of staple foods, has been proven to be closely connected with income levels and population increase. Hence, to fulfil the growing demand for meat and high-value animal protein, pressure on the livestock business has increased over the past several years. For instance, to increase milk output, dairy producers in India are progressively substituting crossbred cows and buffaloes for native, low-yielding dairy bovine breeds. One of the main components of practically all forms of compound feed for animals, including ruminants, poultry, swine, and aquaculture, is maize. Hence, the worldwide trade and market for maize are projected to be driven by the rising need for sources of animal-based protein.

• The growing interest in products derived from maize as alternatives to conventional snacks.

Businesses that offer a healthy breakfast plan made up of ready-to-eat goods have dramatically increased due to consumer desire. There has also been a move towards healthier diets to lower cholesterol and manage blood sugar levels. This has led to a rise in the demand for maize. They also use maize to cover meals in their homes and eateries. A rising number of fast food restaurants are including maize on their menus.

Maize Market Geographical Outlook:

• North America is projected to be the prominent market shareholder in the maize market globally and is anticipated to continue throughout the forecast period.

Due to the huge output of maize crops and their use as animal feed, North America is anticipated to have the largest market for maize, followed by Asia-Pacific. The majority of the region's maize consumption, followed by sorghum and wheat, serves as the primary energy component for animal feed. Cereals, alcohol, sweeteners, and byproduct feed are just a few of the numerous culinary and commercial items that are processed using maize.

Nevertheless, corn continues to be Mexico's principal crop. Changes in dietary habits and rising costs for proteins derived from animals are to blame for this rise in feed. The demand for maize is anticipated to increase throughout the forecast period due to the increase in the utilization of maize in a variety of applications.
