The human segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

Wheat, a vital cereal grain, is a significant source of carbohydrates, primarily in the form of starch, for both human consumption and industrial applications. Beyond its carbohydrate content, wheat offers essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins, soluble fiber, and phytochemicals. Consequently, wheat-based foods are widely consumed in various countries and used in industries to produce refined wheat flour, pasta, noodles, beverages, and more. In the agricultural sector, ongoing research focuses on enhancing wheat production through various methods. For instance, plant biomass accumulation is optimized through efficient nitrogen fixation and phosphorus uptake. Fungal biocontrol agents and bacterial biofertilizers are employed to promote soil health and nutrient cycling.

Precision Farming techniques, such as root system architecture analysis and potassium availability monitoring, contribute to crop yield optimization. Additionally, researchers explore the potential of plant growth regulators, microbial inoculants, humic acid fertilizer, and other sustainable agriculture practices to improve yield and grain quality parameters. Disease resistance mechanisms, photosynthetic efficiency, and abiotic stress mitigation strategies are also crucial areas of research to ensure consistent production and maintain high-quality grains. The market is experiencing dynamic growth, with spike density increasing by 15% in recent years. The industry anticipates further expansion, with a projected 20% rise in demand for wheat-based products due to population growth and changing consumer preferences.
