Market Estimation & Definition

Malted barley Industry is a type of grain that has been processed through controlled germination and drying to activate natural enzymes, primarily amylase, which convert starch into fermentable sugars. This process makes malted barley a crucial ingredient in brewing, distilling, and in various food applications. As of 2023, the global malted barley market was valued at approximately US $23.5 billion and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2024 to 2030. By the end of this forecast period, the market is expected to reach between US $29 billion and US $36 billion, driven by evolving consumer preferences and growing applications in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage sectors.

Market Overview:

Malted barley, often known as malt, is the brewer's preferred grain for making beer. It is sprouted barley that has been steeped in water to begin the process of preparing starches for fermentation. The three processes are kilning, germination, and steeping. The procedure begins with the grain being dumped into a steeping tank, where it absorbs water for many days. The process is started with dumping the grain into a steeping tank, where it absorbs up the water for another few days. Following germination, the barley is moved to a big room that is aerated and maintained at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It is an important aspect for the production of beer. Wheat sugar feeds yeast, which turns the sugar directly into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
