Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Vegan Baking Ingredients Market


The global Vegan Baking Ingredients market size is projected to reach US$ 1.7 billion by 2026, from US$ 1.23 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 5.6% during 2021-2026. The growth of the market is attributed to increase in the number of people adapting to veganism, rise in demand for vegan baking ingredients, and continuous research and development in this market.
Moreover, rise in the number of vegan outlets and expansion in these products offered by the food chains are expected to drive the market. For instance, Germany has a number of vegan restaurants in its capital Berlin, Lucky Leek being one of them that serves vegan based pancakes and burgers.

The market for vegan food products has been facing severe competition, resulting in an expansion in the product offering. For instance, in South Korea, a Starbucks outlet expanded its vegan products range by adding vegan focaccia bread in its menu, thereby generating the market demand. Due to the rise in competition in this market, the food manufacturers are coming up with new products and expanding their distribution facilities to cater to the increasing consumer demand.

For instance, in 2018, Bakels opened up a new distribution centre in Bicester with 80,000 square foot facility, dedicated to the storage of finished goods in order to cater to the increasing demand for these ingredients. Moreover, online retail stores are focusing on adding multiple vegan based bread items to tap the surging demand as well capitalize on the increasing demand with few stores that are launching self manufactured such products. For instance, Waitrose & Partners, a British supermarket chain, has been assigning specific sections for vegan products, thereby providing an expansive distribution network.

An increase in health awareness across the globe and rise in demand for this category are further propelling the demand for the market. Consumption of products made from these ingredients reduce the risk of chronic health diseases such as diabetes, certain cancer, and heart diseases. For instance, consumption of bread has reduced in recent years due to the health problems associated with it, thereby driving the need for gluten free and healthy alternatives.

Europe held the largest share in the vegan baking ingredients market. In 2018, approximately 11,000 tons of vegan baking ingredients were sold for the production of bread in U.K. Europe has the largest bakery products consuming population and the region is also taking initiatives to improve the standard of food products by continuous research in the field of vegan ingredients. In U.K., Artisan Bread Organic launched a vegan burger with 100% organic products.
