The import of wheat gluten to India is projected to increase steadily from 15.355 million kilograms in 2024 to 17.736 million kilograms by 2028. Comparing this to 2023, which stood at 14.8 million kilograms, there is a consistent upward trend. The year-on-year growth rates demonstrate a positive increase of approximately 4% annually, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years being approximately 3.98%.
Future trends to watch for include the increasing demand for plant-based proteins in the Indian market and potential fluctuations in global wheat prices, which may impact the import dynamics and overall trends in value and volume. Additionally, regulatory changes and trade agreements could influence imports positively or negatively beyond 2028.
