Earlier Report Observations

The Swedish wheat and meslin flour market opened the period at 518.5 thousand tons in 2018. By 2020, volume had risen to 541.0 thousand tons, a growth supported by a global surge in wheat and meslin flour production that reached record highs in 2019 and 2020.

Market volume dropped to 474.5 thousand tons in 2021 before recovering to 492.1 thousand tons in 2022. The rebound was partly driven by emerging European consumer trends favoring fiber-rich and whole wheat flour products. In 2023, volume declined again to 450.8 thousand tons, aligning with a peak and subsequent dip in EU-wide production.

In 2024, the market volume increased to 505.1 thousand tons, continuing the influence of health-conscious consumption patterns. Meanwhile, the market value eased slightly to 258.0 million dollars, reflecting a broader stabilization in global commodity prices after earlier spikes.
