Based on product, baking enzymes market is segmented into proteases, lipases, carbohydrases, polymerases & nucleases, phytases, catalases, and others. Baking enzymes market from proteases products is anticipated to cross USD 175 million by 2027. Proteases are the group of enzymes that perform proteolysis i.e., hydrolysis of peptide bonds to link amino acids together. Proteases are majorly used in baking industry for products such as bread and baked items. It is also highly used to manufacture pastries, biscuits, and cookies owing to its ability to reduce gluten elasticity and dough shrinkage after molding and sheeting operation.
Favorable functional benefits to reduce mixing time, decrease consistency, maintain dough uniformity, and improve flavor is expected to drive the proteases segment growth. Further, major consumption of heat liable microbial proteases to inactivate in subsequent baking will stimulate the product demand. Also, the increasing consumption of bakery items such as bread, butter, cheese, cake, and pastries will further boost the demand for proteases segment growth.
Baking enzymes market from proteases products is anticipated to cross USD 170 million by 2027. The noticeable upliftment in the current cake market with the demand for more processed and durable cakes is seen to rise. This scaling has also positively increased the growth of utilization of the baking enzymes such as lipases and amylases into contributing to the attributes of extending the shelf life of cakes in symbiosis with other emulsifiers to a standard formulation of manufacturing. The usage of baking enzymes can be allowed into various other forms of cakes including sponge cakes, pound cakes, muffins, and in high ratio cakes.
The indulgence of these enzymes also imparts in the enrichment and fortification of the quality characteristics of the cakes along with other bakery products. The large-scale storage units of these cakes and other products are under ambient temperature range wherein the involvement of the appropriate baking enzymes delivers the improvement in the crumb softness of the cakes. The enzymatic actions allow the manufacturers to introduce a product with exceeding shelf life and provide the best quality to its consumers.
North America led the baking enzymes market share in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a considerable rate of over 6% from 2021 to 2027. Rapid urbanization along with increasing awareness among consumers regarding the benefits of baking enzymes is driving regional industry growth. Further, the presence of prominent bakery companies along with demand for bread and other ready-to-eat bakery and confectionery food product has resulted in proliferating the enzymes demand among the bakery food manufacturers.
Rising trend for nutritional diet patterns, especially in the U.S. will essentially support the regional growth. The implementation of new regulations in this region permits the manufacturers to not describe or enlist the information of the use of baking enzymes on the product packaging. This relaxation in the legislation of bakery products enables the growing use of the baking enzymes by the manufacturing companies to extract the best quality product in a more advanced and cost-effective output.
