Grain Milling & Starch Manufacturing in France Industry Data and Analysis
The grain milling and starch manufacturing market has undergone a turbulent period in recent years, underscored by volatile grain prices. Recent price hikes, especially for wheat, have put financial pressure on millers, compelling them to adjust their selling prices to maintain profitability. Price hikes have been caused by a global supply shortage of grains, which was accelerated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Nonetheless, higher prices have boosted revenue, with industry revenue projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.9% over the five years through 2025 to reach €13.5 billion, including an estimated 5.4% drop in 2025 as grain prices are projected to dip.
