The leading importer of potato flour, meal, and flakes in 2023 is Italy, followed by the United Kingdom, Malaysia, and France. The United States and Japan maintain substantial imports, with Mexico and Belgium trailing closely. Germany and Spain also contribute significantly to the demand. From 2019 to 2023, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a mixed trend, with Italy and Malaysia showing robust growth, while countries like Germany exhibit slower import growth. In 2024, Italy continues its dominant position, with a notable increase over the previous year, followed by modest growth in the UK and Malaysia.
Future trends could be shaped by several factors:
• With increasing consumer demand for plant-based products, the potato flour market may see innovation-driven growth.
• Trade policies, tariffs, and economic conditions in key importing countries may impact import volumes.
• Health trends emphasizing gluten-free diets could drive further demand, particularly in the United States and Europe.
