San Jose, California (PRWEB) March 3, 2008 -- The global whole grain and high fiber foods market (http://www.strategyr.com/Whole_Grain_And_High_Fiber_Foods_Market_Report.asp) is forecast to reach US$24 billion by 2012, increasing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% over the review period 2003-2012, as stated by a recent report published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. (GIA). United States is projected to maintain its position as the leading whole grain and high fiber foods market and register sales worth US$8.8 billion by 2012. The release of new Dietary Guidelines for Americans in early 2005 boosted the production and sale of products based on whole grains and fibers across the United States. Rising consumer awareness levels about benefits of whole grains and fiber consumption with respect to digestive and cardiovascular health constitutes a major factor driving growth in the US market.

The whole grains market is witnessing the launch of numerous innovative whole grain products. Growing awareness about health and nutrition, coupled with the increasing demand for products with improved tastes, has prompted snack food manufacturers to develop innovative products. Besides, food companies intend to address the growing requirements of an aging global population, which is actively seeking alternative foods that offer improved nutrition, taste as well as health benefits. In the US and Europe, the consumption of healthy whole grain-based products has enabled bakery sector to overcome the challenge posed by the low-carb diet trend.
