Europe’s Grain Milling and Starch Manufacturing industry has battled high inflation and supply chain instability, driving revenue down. Producers adapted to shifting consumer preferences as the pan-European surge in popularity for whole grains, organic and gluten-free options became evident in countries like Spain and Italy, where wholegrain flatbreads have been embraced. Amid COVID-19, health-focused choices saw an uptick, while environmentally-friendly starch products have also gained traction. Over the five years through 2024, revenue is expected to dip at a compound annual rate of 2.1% to €90.9 billion. In 2024 , revenue is forecast to fall 2.1% as inflation continues to squeeze downstream demand.
