Semolina is a type of flour that is produced from the milling process of durum wheat and is coarse when compared with regular flour. Semolina is often used in various dishes, which include pasta, couscous, and bread. When compared with other types of flour, semolina flour has various health benefits, which makes it a great alternative to other less nutritious flour. Semolina is known for containing a rich amount of vitamins B1 and B3 and is also a good source of folate, which is essential for the development of babies. They also contain rich protein content, which consists of all the essential amino acids and can meet the daily protein needs of a person.

Introduction:

The growth of the global semolina market is expected to increase at a significant rate during the forecasted period of 2024-2029, due to the increase in consumption of pasta around the world. Semolina is known to be an ingredient used for the production of pasta. Therefore, an increase in consumption of pasta will assist in the semolina market growth during the forecast period.

Market Drivers:

• Increasing Pasta Consumption: Pasta is one of the major users of semolina in the market. Semolina is a well-known ingredient that is used in the production of pasta, couscous, noodles, and several other products. Semolina has been linked to various health benefits as well, which can include the promotion of weight loss, high folate content, a source of iron and magnesium, and heart health. The use of semolina increases the health awareness of pasta products, which further increases the demand and consumption of pasta. The increase in consumption of pasta will, therefore, provide the necessary fuel for the global semolina market growth. The UN AFPA states that the E.U. pasta industry displayed an increase in growth of production and consumption, which is an increase from 4,739 to 5,004 thousand tonnes in production and from 2,944 to 3,011 thousand tonnes in consumption between the years 2021 and 2022 respectively. It also states that the number of people employed in the pasta industry displayed a substantial increase from 13,914 to 31,215 people in 2021 and 2022 respectively, which displays an increase in growth of the pasta industry. The increase in the consumption and production of pasta can be linked to the increase in growth of the pasta industry, which further boosts the global semolina market growth during the forecasted period.

Regional Analysis:

The North American region is expected to witness significant growth in the global semolina market during the forecasted period of 2023-2029.  Semolina is a type of flour that is produced from durum wheat and has a wide range of applications, which include pasta production, noodles, and many others. The increase in consumption of pasta and couscous will provide the necessary boost for the  semolina market growth. The increase in the production of durum wheat is also another factor that helps in the growth of the semolina market since it is commonly used for the production of semolina flour. The North American region is expected to have high growth rates due to the high production rate of pasta and the increase in production and export of durum wheat in the region. As per the UN AFPA, the total production of pasta in the United States accounted for an estimated 2 million tonnes in 2023. The US Wheat Associated displays an increase in production of the total durum production in the United States, which displayed a 5-year average of 1.5 million metric tonnes and the production of durum wheat accounts for an estimated 1.6 million metric tonnes in 2023.  Furthermore, the World Integrated Trade Solution of the World Bank states that the top exporter of durum wheat is Canada as of 2021, which accounted for an estimated 4,694,910,000kg in quantity, which is an estimated value (in 1000s) of US$ 1,501,883.97 in 2021. The European region is also expected to witness a significant increase during the forecasted year, due to the cultural relevance of pasta in Italy. Since semolina is one of the major ingredients used for the production of pasta, the increase in production and consumption of the past will increase the demand for semolina. This relevance of the production of durum wheat in the region and the holding of the top position of exporting in the world will provide the necessary increase in the regional semolina market growth during the forecasted period.
