The wet-milling market involves processing grains such as corn, wheat, and cassava to produce products such as starch, sweeteners, ethanol, gluten meal, and corn oil. This process separates grain components using water and specialized equipment such as steeping systems, centrifuges, and filtration units. The market is driven by the rising demand for bioethanol, increasing applications in food and beverage industries, and the growing use of starch in bioplastics and adhesives. Key players, including ADM, Cargill, Roquette Frères, and Tate & Lyle, are investing in advanced processing technologies and expanding production capacities. Recent developments include collaborations for sustainable starch production and innovations in enzymatic wet-milling to improve efficiency. In addition, increasing consumer preference for plant-based products is shaping market dynamics. With significant demand from feed, food, and industrial applications, the market is poised for growth, supported by advancements in milling equipment and a focus on environmentally friendly processing solutions.
