Europe stands out as a pivotal region in the specialty malt market, holding a significant share, which amounted to roughly half of the total market in 2018. The malt industry, critical to brewing and food production, has witnessed a substantial evolution in recent years. In 2015, a staggering 22 million tons of malt were produced, with barley contributing to 90% of this production. The economic dynamics of malting hinge on critical factors such as barley selection, protein composition, plumpness, and moisture content.

💡𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲:
Large brewing companies, while not entirely integrated in terms of malt sourcing, often operate both their malting facilities and engage with independent maltsters. For example, Anheuser-Busch owns malting facilities but also procures malt from independent sources. Amidst this landscape, specialty malt has emerged as a crucial ingredient, gaining traction, especially in brewing and food applications. The spectrum of specialty malts ranges from light and sweet carapils to astringent, carbon-like black malt, providing diverse flavors for various end products.

The specialty malt market, particularly prominent in Europe, where it accounted for approximately half of the total market share in 2018, has witnessed significant growth and evolution. This growth is largely attributed to the brewing and food industries, which have seen a shift towards specialty ingredients, with specialty malt emerging as a key player. The malting industry’s economic dynamics are intricately linked to factors such as barley selection, protein composition, and moisture content.

Specialty malt has found extensive application in the food industry due to its key functional properties. It serves as a natural flavoring or coloring agent in the production of various food items such as baked goods, bars, cereal, cookies, crackers, granola, gravies, roux, prepared food, pet food, and snack food. Simultaneously, the craft brewing industry has been a major consumer of specialty malt. For instance, carapils, a type of specialty malt, is widely used to enhance head retention and impart a sweet character to beer.

While specialty malt witnesses high demand, uncertainties in climatic conditions affecting crop sources have introduced irregularities in the supply-demand trend. Regions like the U.S., known for optimal barley growing conditions, faced challenges in 2014 due to poor rainfall, impacting overall crop yield. This led to increased marginal prices for barley-derived specialty malts, affecting sales for that particular season.
