Summary

The global parboiled and white rice market size was valued at 509.9 Million Tons in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach 564.8 Million Tons by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 1.17% from 2025-2033. China currently dominates the market, holding a market share of over 35.2% in 2024. The parboiled and white rice market share is rising due to rising global demand for staple foods, increasing urbanization, and growing consumer preference for convenient and nutrient-rich rice varieties. Expanding trade, improved processing technologies, and higher consumption in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East further contribute to market growth.

Parboiled and white rice are variants of hydrothermally processed rice. Parboiled rice is partially boiled and is processed in lukewarm or cold water before husking and milling. White rice is usually milled after having the husk, bran and germ removed. They are a rich source of calcium, potassium, fiber and vitamin B6 and are widely used in dry powders, instant soup mixes and frozen foods. Parboiled and white rice are commonly available in long, medium and short lengths. They are widely used in ready-to-eat (RTE) breakfast cereals, biscuits, extruded snacks, baby foods, noodles, fermented beverages and oils. However, in comparison to white rice, parboiled rice is easy to digest, takes lesser time to cool and has a fluffier and less sticky texture.

Parboiled and White Rice Market Trends:
Significant growth in the food and beverage industry across the globe is among the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, rising awareness regarding the health benefits of parboiled and white rice among the masses is providing a thrust to the market growth. The consumer preference is rapidly shifting towards an energy-rich carbohydrate-based diet and regular and moderate consumption of rice can minimize the risks of developing diabetes and various other medical ailments. In line with this, the increasing demand for premium and specialty white rice products and dishes is also favoring the market growth. For instance, basmati rice with sleek grains and unique aroma, taste and superior quality is gaining immense preference among the consumers. Additionally, extensive improvements in the rice production technologies and rising demand for rice flakes, puffed rice, rice wafers and canned rice, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Furthermore, rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with the implementation of favorable government policies promoting the cultivation of rice, is anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
