The size of the global bread improvers market is expected to be worth USD 3.69 billion in 2024 and grow at a CAGR of 5.70% from 2024 to 2032 to achieve USD 5.75 billion by 2032. The bread improver market has grown as consumption of bread and bread products have increased.
Bread improvers are used to provide the flexibility and tolerance required during the various stages of bread mixing, baking, fermentation, and shelf life. Bread conditioners, also known as dough conditioners, dough improvers, and improvers, are ordered compounds of properly formulated baking ingredients that increase strength during different phases of bread making. Bread improvers also regulate all uncertainties, such as preparing standardized quality end products, such as changes in humidity, temperature, flour and labor to assist bakers during the bread production process. The ultimate goal of the improver is to simplify the cooking process and provide customers with high-quality products. To stay in the market and expand its customer base, bakers continue to focus on improving and delivering high-quality products to consumers. In addition to reducing the cooking time of bread, bakery improvers use enzymes such as protease and amylase for gluten and starch to improve the texture and volume of baked goods. It also helps achieve mass production results during flour processing. The composition for improving bread comprises an additive, that is, an emulsifier, antioxidant, enzyme, sugar, acidity regulator, dairy solids, fatty acids and a collection of vitamins, and is accompanied by a certain amount of wheat flour in a certain amount to facilitate mixing with the rest of the baking ingredients. It can be accompanied by flour that is also commonly present in liquid glyceride and bread improver oils. As demand for prepared foods such as bread and bread products increase, the market for bread improvers is growing worldwide.
As a result, the market demand for bread improvers is increasing. The large intake of bread and bakery related items, the delivery of innovative bakery products by bakery manufacturers and the increased need for prepared foods are some of the main trends affecting the growth of the market of bread improvers. Bread or dough improvers are used to enhance all aspects of bread and provide the necessary strength and flexibility at all stages of the cooking process, such as mixing, fermentation, cooking and shelf life. Therefore, the ultimate goal of all modifiers is to simplify the cooking process, provide high-quality products to consumers, and make higher profits for bakers. This will lead to the trend in the bread improver market in the coming years. Furthermore, as awareness of health and food security increases, the demand for whole wheat bread has increased, contributing to the growth of the market. Bakery manufacturers are implementing innovations in their products to meet the changing functional needs of consumers. All of these factors contribute to the growth of the global bread improver market. In addition, the growing graph of the bread improver business in the coming years will be further stimulated as demand for organic bread products increases due to health problems. Target customers in the global bread improver market include industry associations, bread improver producers, bread improver dealers, bread improver suppliers, bread improver distributors, government and research institutions, industry and association organizations, raw material suppliers, distributors and more. However, there is a great opportunity to use enzymes instead of emulsifiers to develop organic bread using minimal preservatives and to reduce production costs.
Government awareness of chemicals/preservatives in bakery products under public and strict food regulatory standards is likely to hamper the market growth to some extent over the outlook period. Strict government regulations related to additives and bakery products in some countries hinder the growth of the bread improver market.
