In 2023, the non-food uses of wheat in the US stood at 33.0 thousand metric tons. Forecasts indicate a steady growth trend for the next five years, with an increase to 36.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year percentage change from 2024 to 2025 remains flat, before a slight increase around 2.9% in 2026 and 2.8% in 2027. The compound annual growth rate over the five-year period is approximately 1.8%.
Future trends to watch for include innovations in industrial applications of wheat, potential shifts in biofuel production from wheat-derived products, and policies encouraging sustainable and diversified agricultural practices. Additionally, monitoring global wheat supply stability and its impact on non-food use will be crucial.
