Baking Powder Market

Global Baking Powder Market Size (2024 To 2032)

The size of the global baking powder market is expected to be worth USD 3.77 billion in 2024 and grow at a CAGR of 5.30% from 2024 to 2032 to achieve USD 5.70 billion by 2032. The main factor driving growth in the market for baking powder is the rise in the worldwide fast food market.

Baking powder is mainly used to make various kinds of bread and bakery products, such as pancakes, muffins, waffles and cakes. Baking powder is a dry chemical preservative composed of carbonate, inert filler, and weak acid. It is normally used to increase the amount of baked goods. It helps to catch the dough raised until it is established in the cooking process. Baking powder is a product that comprises ingredients like cornstarch, dry acid, and baking soda. Sales of yeast powder have skyrocketed in recent years due to the rise in demand for fast food, baked goods like cakes and pies, and quick instant mixes. This item is gaining popularity in restaurants, bakeries, homes and restaurants. This trend is spreading worldwide due to the swift growth of urbanization. The driving force in this market is the growing trend of ready to eat food and includes a healthy approach towards bakery products.

MARKET DRIVERS

Urbanization has generated demand in the global baking powder market, along with the trend of intake of ready-to-eat food.

Fast food consumption in urban populations has increased due to changes in eating habits. Also, the general market has grown due to the preference for health and wellness-oriented bakery products. Baking soda is partially powdered and baking soda. They differ in chemical composition, but due to similar properties, the products can replace each other. Baking soda is relatively powerful and has a longer shelf life compared to baking powder. Furthermore, there is little consumer awareness of the difference between the two products. Therefore, substituting baking soda suppresses the growth of the target market. Baking soda is essentially alkaline and must be mixed with an acidic liquid such as vinegar to release carbon dioxide. Baking powder is just a baking soda premixed with acidic ingredients, so baking powder can be replaced with baking soda in many food preparations to slow the growth of the market. As health and wellness awareness increases, consumer demand for a balanced diet is met through high-fiber bread, nutrition bars, and breakfast cereals. This health and wellness-oriented foods require baking powder as an ingredient, increasing demand. A busy lifestyle and an increase in people's disposable income have a major impact on food choices. Consumers are relying more on ready-to-eat and convenient foods, and there is a growing demand for yeast-based powdered foods like pizzas, donuts, hamburgers and cakes. Therefore, the trend of consuming junk food is leading to an increased demand for powdered cooking worldwide.

Conversely, more and more health-conscious people are demanding a balanced diet, such as nutritional bars, high-fiber breads, and breakfast cereals. Market growth is expected as these foods require baking powder. The main purchasers identified in the baking powder business are supermarkets, hypermarkets and industrial buyers for making hamburgers, pizza and bread. Large retailers like Wal-Mart and Tesco buy large quantities of baking powder directly from the manufacturer, so they enjoy market savings by eliminating distributors in the supply chain. Because the usage of baking powder by the consumer is very small, manufacturers are channeling their products via wholesalers or retailers. Therefore, the bargaining ability of buyers is estimated to rise in the future. Manufacturers are focusing on innovating baking powders to provide product differentiation that will open up a new shape for the market during the forecast period.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The use of baking soda as an alternative to baking powder has a negative impact on the global baking powder market.

Another factor challenging the demand for yeast powder is that people's awareness of the side effects of eating junk food such as cakes, hamburgers and pizzas is increasing. As concerns about the high fat, calorie, and sugar content of junk food and the lack of vitamins, proteins, and minerals in these foods increase, people are unable to consume them. The baking powder market is supposed to be affected due to declining junk food consumption. Baking powders containing sodium bicarbonate compounds are generally well tolerated by the human body, but the substance is associated with side effects. This can also hinder the growth of the global market for baking powder.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

The global baking powder market by region is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and other countries. With the participation of various countries in the manufacture and trade of yeast powder, the world market for yeast powder is assumed to ascend at a considerable rate. Currently, imports from Europe and Asia Pacific represent 64.8%. The yeast powder market in the Asia Pacific has been promising in recent years due to the expansion of the urban population and the increased consumption of fast food. In Brazil, the United States and some European countries, the baking powder market has almost reached a saturation point because of stable economic growth and high urbanization. As a result, companies can focus on regional countries like China and India to take advantage of opportunities in underdeveloped markets in these countries.

Due to the dietary pattern of people living in Europe and North America, consumers consume 75% sodium. Therefore, manufacturers and governments are focusing on product innovations that help reduce the sodium content of baking powder without affecting quality. Initiatives to improve public health and save on major health-related costs will drive product differentiation and innovation, creating market growth opportunities. Rapid growth in urban populations and increased demand for fast food are foreseen to drive the baking powder market in the areas of Asia Pacific and Europe over the outlook period. The potential to replace baking powder in the food industry may be a major threat to the global baking powder market during the prediction period.
