Market Dynamics

Europe Bakery Ingredients Market Drivers

• Growing Demand for Convenience and Packaged Food: As customers living standards have risen and their lifestyle patterns have become busier, demand for convenience meals has gradually increased. As a result of this increasing convenience meal demand in many European countries, bakery products, sweets, and fast-food products have all seen a boom in demand. As per capita food expenditure progressively rises in step with per capita income, convenience food demand is growing more in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and other countries. One of the most important aspects of convenience foods is the food ingredients used to give the appropriate organoleptic qualities as well as a longer-than-average shelf life to appeal to consumers and hence this factor is expected to drive the Bakery Ingredients market towards growth.

Gluten-free foods aid to lower cholesterol, improve digestion, and boost energy levels.

Small bakeries, artisanal bakeries, and home-based bakeries are also available on the market. Large and international bakeries are growing more popular in urban regions, whereas domestic and local bakeries are preferred in rural areas.This market's extremely fragmented and unequal conduct is anticipated to stifle the European bread ingredients market's expansion.

Segmental Analysis

The bakery ingredients market in Europe is divided into three categories: type, application, and geography.

The bakery ingredients market in the region includes enzymes, starch, fibre, colours, flavours, emulsifiers, antimicrobials, lipids, dry baking mix, and others. The dry baking mix sector dominates the market in the region.

Dry baking mixes are available in granular, powder, flake, and crystal forms, depending on how they are employed in the food business. They're used to make meals look more appetising by dressing it up. They help with digestion, weight loss, metabolism, and blood pressure lowering, among other things. The popularity of ready-to-eat foods and the expansion of quick-service restaurants (QSRs) in both developed and developing countries has increased demand for dry baking mixes in both developing and developed regions. Demand for dry baking mixes has also increased as consumers spend more time experimenting with new flavours, textures, and cuisines.

Furthermore, the expansion of the bakery ingredients industry has been fuelled by the availability of dry baking mixes via online sales channels as well as modern trade outlets such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, and others. Due to rising health concerns, consumer demand for gluten-free bakery products such as cakes, pastries, bread, and muffins is propelling the baking mix and enzyme industry forward. Because enzymes are a good substitute for potassium bromate, which is prohibited in many countries in the area, the enzyme category is expected to increase at the quickest CAGR over the forecast period.

Furthermore, as a result of changing eating patterns and a hectic lifestyle, the demand for quickly available on-the-go food items has increased. For example, the availability of a variety of instant premix powders adds significantly to the region's market growth by allowing individuals to make desserts at home quickly and easily without putting in a lot of effort. In addition, rising population, urbanisation, and the advent of low-cost healthy bakery alternatives all contribute to higher demand for baking mix and enzyme goods.

Bread, cookies and biscuits, rolls and pies, cakes and pastries are the several types of bakery ingredients available. The bread application category dominated the market. Bread is a common baked food item that is used in religious rites and secular culture all around the world, but particularly in the West.

Over time, bread has become a popular breakfast item. However, it is increasingly used to make artisan sweets. Bread consumption is increasing in the food business due to rising disposable income, urbanisation, and changing customer tastes. Although white bread remains the most popular option, health-conscious consumers are increasingly opting for brown and other nutritional loaves.

The second-largest market is for cookies and biscuits. Cookies and biscuits are becoming increasingly popular, particularly among youngsters. Continuous product developments that improve the taste, texture, and health advantages of the food item are driving up demand for cookies and biscuits. To appeal to consumers, manufacturers are emphasising new flavours and packaging. Additionally, cookies and biscuits, as well as other confectionery items like chocolates, are popular gift presents. Low-calorie cookies and biscuits are also gaining popularity among health-conscious consumers, which is helping the bakery ingredients business.

Impact of covid-19

The automotive industry is critical to the economy's growth. However, during the second and third quarters of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the whole automotive supply chain, affecting new car sales in FY 2020.

South America is most affected by COVID-19, with Brazil leading the way, followed by Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Argentina. South America's government (SAM) has taken a number of steps to protect its citizens and stem the spread of COVID-19. South America is expected to have fewer export revenues as commodity prices fall and export volumes fall, particularly to China, Europe, and the United States, which are all significant trading partners. The manufacturing industry, especially automotive manufacturing, has been damaged by containment measures in various South American countries. Due to the pandemic, major automotive manufacturers have also temporarily halted manufacturing in the region as a cost-cutting move. Furthermore, the automobile disc brake industry has been significantly affected in 2020 due to a lack of raw materials and supply chain disruption.

The Automotive Brake System control module of a vehicle is meant to alert the driver with a warning light if the system fails. The module itself is rarely defective; instead, the sensors or the wiring to the sensors are frequently defective. The most typical cause of dysfunction is when the Automotive Brake System is contaminated with particles or metal shavings. There is no signal continuity when sensor wiring is destroyed. Brake fluid becomes contaminated in corrosive situations, and the hydraulic unit fails to function.
