The enzymes segment will capture USD 5.42 billion and demonstrate a 5.5% CAGR through 2032. Emulsifiers business have been further bifurcated into mono-glycerides, Sodium stearoyl lactylate, and calcium stearoyl lactylate. Mono glycerides help in the binding of oil and water thus improving the consistency of food products.
Sodium stearoyl lactylate helps in dough strengthening during processing and keeps the crumb soft during storage time. Calcium stearoyl lactylate helps to improve crumb texture and grain in breads. Increasing bread consumption owing to hectic work schedules may drive product demand.
Emulsifiers witness extensive market demand in manufacturing of cakes, pastries, buns, rolls, and tortillas. The product helps to retard staling of bakery products. The bakery products industry growth is primarily due to increasing demand for buns and breads for preparing sandwiches and burgers. The market growth is attributed to increasing consumption of fast food globally.
Market segmentation based on application includes bread, pizza crust, tortillas, Cakes, and buns & rolls.
