Leavening Agents Market Trends

Changing consumer dietary habits represents one of the major factors to boost market growth globally.

Economic development and urbanization have resulted in radical changes in lifestyle and food habits. The modern lifestyle is characterized by time constraints and the need for leisure, which has further increased the demand for convenience food products. This need for convenience has also led to the growth in the demand for leavening agents, as vendors in the bakery industry are launching freshly baked products, pre-packed long-life products, and pre-packed part-baked ready-to-use bakery products such as bread, tortillas, and pastries that can save on time spent in the kitchen.

Furthermore, as societies started to evolve from being agrarian-driven to industry-driven, the availability of fresh farm produce has reduced. This nutritional transition is resulting in various lifestyle ailments such as obesity and diabetes. The consumption of fat-rich and calorie-loaded food leads to health disorders such as reduced digestion capacity and a lower metabolic rate. In order to address these ailments, the bakery industry is increasingly using healthy ingredients in products, including leavening agents. Baking soda helps treat acidity by aiding in neutralizing stomach acid secretions, reducing stomach bloating, and easing the symptoms of acid reflux and indigestion problems. The presence of yeast in the diet helps absorb vitamins and minerals from the food and helps fight chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract such as Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and Irritable bowel syndrome. As the consumption of bakery products is growing, the demand for leavening agents is expected to rise further over the years to come. Thus, the changing consumer dietary habits are expected to drive the growth of the global leavening agents markets during the forecast period.
