Preference for healthy food products has led the manufacturers in the food industry to opt for nutritious ingredients globally. Consumers mainly prefer spending on food products that are rich fiber-dense ingredients such as millets. In addition, growing prevalence of various diseases such as diabetes and obesity has led customers to prefer spending on fat-free and fiber-rich food products. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 100 million adults in the U.S. are living with prediabetes and diabetes. Also, a recent report by CDC states that over 36% of the adults in the U.S. have obesity. In order to cater to demands of the customers, manufacturers are focusing on offering diabetes-friendly food products that help in maintaining the blood and sugar level of the customers.
As consumption of millets improves the digestive system, boosts respiratory health, lowers the risk of cancer and improves the muscle and nerve health, sales of millets will continue to remain high globally. Attributed to gluten-free properties, customers suffering from celiac disease prefer consuming food products that have a high content of healthy grains such as millets. Prevalence of celiac diseases will continue to boost the sales of millets among various manufacturers in the food industry.

Sales of the millets is expected to remain high attributed to increasing preference for healthy and fiber-dense food products among customers. As consumers are becoming more aware of the healthy food products and prefer maintaining a healthy lifestyle, leading companies in the food industry are focusing on offering millet-based food products globally.

However, demand for millets will continue to rev up significantly for the alcoholic beverages.
