Earlier Report Observations

The wheat gluten market in Pakistan showed significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023, with overall growth from 2012 t to 2625 t. Domestic production increased steadily from 1010 t to 1188 t over this period, while import volumes varied considerably, contributing to market volatility.

After a slight contraction in 2019, market volume expanded rapidly in 2020 and 2021, reaching over 2500 t. The market then declined in 2022, partly due to temporary export activity that year, before rebounding strongly in 2023 to a new peak.
