The United States is the largest user of maize for non-food purposes, followed by China and Indonesia. Notable countries with growth include Egypt, Pakistan, and India, with India's use expanding remarkably by over 65% in recent recorded periods.
Conversely, countries such as Laos and Portugal show declining usage trends. Other significant markets like Canada and Egypt demonstrate robust growth, while the European landscape displays mixed results with Spain and Netherlands reducing usage, contrasting with France's increased demand.
Future trends may include increased usage in countries with growing biofuel and industrial sectors, like China and India, while environmental policies could influence non-food utilization across Europe and North America.
