The global soy flour market size is expected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 3.5% over the forecast period. Increasing demand for gluten-free and high nutritional value flour in the food industry is propelling the demand for soy based flour. In addition, growing vegan population is one of the key factors boosting the demand for the product as it is the best meat substitute available in the market. These factors are anticipated to ensure the significant growth of the market over the forecast period.
Consumers are shifting their preferences towards healthy and nutritious foods due to increasing health consciousness. Soy based flour is rich in isoflavones, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins, calcium, fiber, and iron. High nutritional value, along with gluten-free property, makes the product perfect as a nutritious food and meat substitute. In order to cater to this growing demand for meat substitute as well as baked and functional goods, major manufacturers are adopting strategies including mergers and acquisitions as well as new product launches.

This agreement resulted in the joint ownership of soy crushing facility, which has a crushing capacity of 6000 tons per day. These initiatives are anticipated to ensure the significant demand for the market over the forecast period.
