Bran, sharps and residues from cereal or legume processing market in Asia

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for bran, sharps, and residues from cereal and legume processing in Asia experienced modest fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 107.9 million metric tons in 2018, it dipped to 106.2 million metric tons the following year before entering a period of consistent, though gradual, growth. By 2023, the market had reached 111.2 million metric tons, reflecting an overall increase of 3.3 million metric tons over the six-year period.

This expansion was supported by a clear upward trend in imports, which grew from 5.0 million metric tons in 2018 to 7.0 million metric tons in 2023. Domestic production showed more variability, declining in 2019 and 2022 but recovering to reach a peak of 107.4 million metric tons in 2023. The net effect of trade flows contributed to the steady enlargement of the available market supply throughout the period.

The market's growth trajectory stabilized after 2020, with annual increases in volume ranging between 0.9 and 1.1 million metric tons. This pattern resulted in a total market that was 3.1% larger in 2023 than it was at the beginning of the review period.
