Its impact was severe during the initial few months of lockdown, where even with the rising demand for functional flour ingredients, key players and organizations across the globe reported their inability to battle logistical concerns. However, the market has been recovering, making the impact marginal over the later months of 2020, as the food & beverages sector continued to combat new daily challenges, supply chain disruption being the major of them. Furthermore, the pandemic also resulted in creating opportunities for many private players to emerge in the market to cater to the inflated demand for food ingredients, which in turn benefitted the ingredient manufacturers.

Functional Flour Market Trends
Increasing Consumption of Nutrient-Enriched Foods to Improve Overall Health
The increasing demand for nutrient-enriched foods due to the hectic lifestyle of people and the rising awareness of the health benefits of these foods among them is predicted to drive market growth. This has led the consumer interest in diet and health, which increased the demand for functional foods. The prevalence of obesity is growing in all developed countries globally. Therefore, consumers are inclined toward foods containing functional ingredients to reduce the risk of certain health conditions such as obesity, weight management, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The hectic lifestyles and increasing stress have contributed to the prevalence of such health disorders. In general, people have the tendency to consume meals three to four times a day. This has created a negative impact on people's health. The growing awareness and shift in eating habits have led to a trend of eating smaller meals during the day. These factors have given a boost to healthy foods and the replacement of meals with healthy biscuits, snacks, and energy or protein bars.

Other factors, such as growing disposable income, ease of carrying, and increasing health concerns, are also augmenting the market growth.

Functional flour is gaining popularity for its cost-cutting, nutritional benefits, thickening, texture, and taste enhancements. However, the trend of gluten-free and clean labels is the primary factor driving the market. North America dominates the market with a high awareness of product efficiency and the demand for premium products. New trends in the United States functional bars reveal that the demand for functional food products has been increasing in the country. The fortification of granola/ muesli bars and food products with omega3 fatty acids, calcium, fiber, and others has been trending in the United States marketplace. The increase in consumption of nutritive convenience and fortified food and the growing health awareness is leading to increased consumption of healthier diets, thereby driving the market.
