Segment Insight

By Product

Flour does provide the body, structure, and binding essential for replacing dairy and eggs in the vegan recipes. The market has expanded beyond wheat to include high-protein options such as chickpea, almond, millet, and sorghum, which do offer better nutrition and texture. The consumers are also asking for plant-based, nutrient-dense options offering higher protein and fiber, thereby calling for natural, specialized flavors. Specialty flour blends are being engineered for mimicking the tenderness, texture, and crumb structure of traditional baked goods. The lower costs of conventional four do make it one of the go-to ingredients for commercial and home bakers.

By Application

The breads & rolls hold ~40% of the overall market share. This is attributed to consumer demand for allergen-free, healthier options, along with the relative simplicity involved in the substitution of eggs/dairy with the plant-based alternatives. The demand is catalyzed by increased popularity of the plant-based diets amongst the youth, with the requirement of functional ingredients improving sustainability and texture. Also, bread, as a staple food, has a consistent, high demand, which renders it a primary emphasis for the manufacturers. Majority of conventional bread recipes are already relying on the plant-based ingredients (salt, yeast, water, and flour) that need straightforward, minimal substitutions for eggs or dairy.

Regional Insights

Europe dominates the vegan baking ingredients market owing to a visible shift to flexitarian diets and veganism, along with an increase in health consciousness (such as plant-based alternatives and lower trans-fatty acids). Strict European regulations regarding food safety as well as labeling do encourage the manufacturers to innovate regarding sustainable, natural, and high class clean label ingredients. The region is also known for baking culture being deeply ingrained, which is switching to egg-free, dairy-free, and plant-based alternatives in patisserie, conventional, and bakery products.
