Global Sourdough Market

The global sourdough market encompasses the entire value chain of sourdough-based products, including production, distribution, and consumption. Sourdough is primarily used in the bakery industry as a leavening agent for baked goods such as breads, pastries, cakes, biscuits, and pizza crusts. Increasing consumer preferences for healthier food options, owing to emerging health & wellness trends and growing demand for clean-label food products, are driving growth in this market. Price sensitivity among consumers and the need for awareness of the benefits of sourdough in certain regions could also impact market growth. However, the market faces several challenges, such as shelf life and freshness issues with sourdough, which hinder mass-production efforts in commercial bakeries. Research suggests that individuals with gluten-related disorders may better tolerate sourdough products, creating growth opportunities for the market. Collaboration with nutritionists and food scientists leads to sourdough-based products catering to specific dietary needs or featuring functional ingredients with added health benefits. Exploring novel packaging solutions that enhance product freshness without compromising quality or taste would address distribution-related challenges within this market segment.
