Market Estimation & Definition
The Maize Bran Industry is projected to reach approximately 13.13 million metric tonnes by 2032, up from 9.82 million tonnes in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% during the forecast period. Maize bran, the fibrous outer layer of the corn kernel, is typically produced as a by-product in the corn milling industry. It is valued for its high nutritional content—including dietary fiber, protein, and starch—making it an attractive ingredient for animal feed, functional foods, and even biofuel applications.

This natural by-product contains roughly 22% cellulose, 10–13% protein, 9–22% starch, 5% phenolic compounds, 2–3% lipids, and a small percentage of ash, which collectively give it diverse functional and nutritional benefits.
