REPORT DESCRIPTION
Global Oats Market to Reach 32 Million Tons by 2022
Oats (also known as Avena Sativa) currently represent an important cereal crop which is predominantly
grown in American and European countries, mainly Russia, Canada and the United States. They grow best
in moderate climates and can be planted in autumn or spring.
Oats have today become a staple food in a number of countries on account of their numerous benefits.
They are highly nutritious as they contain dietary fibre, beta-gluten, proteins, unsaturated fatty acids,
vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The consumption of oats is associated with various health benefits
such as reduced risk of coronary artery disease and colorectal cancer, low levels of cholesterol, weight
management and low blood sugar levels. They are currently used in a number of products such as
muffins, granola bars, cookies, breads, biscuits, probiotic drinks, breakfast cereals, flakes, infant food and
other baked goods. According to a new report by Expert Market Research, the global oats
market reached a volume of 26 Million Tons in 2016 and is further expected to reach 32 Million Tons by
2022.
The production of oats witnessed fluctuations during 2009-2012 as a result of a significant fall in the
acreage in the major producing countries. The market, however, recovered in the year 2013 on account of
numerous forces. In line with the hectic lifestyles, a shift towards ready-to-eat food products has been
witnessed. In addition, oats offer convenience as they can be easily and quickly prepared by anyone. This
has significantly increased the global demand for oats in the past several years. Moreover, rising
population, increasing disposable incomes, growing health consciousness among consumers along with a
strong demand from emerging markets are some of the other factors that have facilitated the market
growth.
