Alpha-Amylase Baking Enzyme Market (Updated Version Available)

Key Market Overview:

During the forecast period between 2023 and 2030, the Alpha-Amylase Baking Enzyme Market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. Valued at USD 330.00 Million in 2022, the market is projected to reach USD 450.00 Million by 2030.

Alpha-amylase is an enzyme that is widely used in the baking industry for the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, ideally starch, into simple sugars that are used by yeast and other microorganisms during the baking process. Such enzymes are derived from various sources, including bacteria, fungi, and plants.
Moreover, alpha-amylase baking enzymes are specifically designed for use in baked goods, such as bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries. The enzymes improve the texture, flavor, and appearance of these products by breaking down starch molecules that result in a light and airy texture, a desirable crust, and a longer shelf life for the finished baked goods. Additionally, the enzymes improve dough handling and reduce the amount of waste produced during the baking process.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

The growing demand for convenience food and baked goods resulted in increased use of alpha amylase baking eznyme due to factors such as consistent quality, texture, and taste which drive the need for alpha-amylase baking enzymes. For instance, according to the report published by Statista, in 2022, the total bread consumption in the U.S. amounted 6.64 billion kilograms. Additionally, the advancements in enzyme technology is surging the demand for the alpha-amylase baking enzyme due to rising innovations in the technologies that are further urging the manufacturers to develop new and improved alpha-amylase baking enzymes. For instance, Novozymes, a leading producer of enzymes, launched a new alpha-amylase baking enzyme called Novamyl Superflex, which offers superior dough handling and stability, resulting in consistent performance and improved bread quality.

Restraint:

The presence of alternatives such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and dough conditioners offer advantages including better texture, flavor, and performance of baked goods. These alternatives are mostly preferred by bakers or consumers that hamper the alpha amylase baking enzyme market growth. In addition, some consumers prefer fresh and artisanal baked goods that are made without the use of additives or enzymes. Thereby limiting the demand for alpha-amylase baking enzymes.

Opportunities:

Growing demand for the consumption of gluten-free baked goods and alpha-amylase baking enzymes plays a major role in improving the texture and quality of these products. For instance, according to a report published by Statista, the market for gluten-free foods is projected to amount to USD 14 billion by 2032. Manufacturers are developing enzymes specifically for use in gluten-free baking, which offers improved performance and consistency and propels the market growth over the forecast period.

Alpha-Amylase Baking Enzyme Market Segmentation:



By Source

Based on the source segment, the market is categorized into fungi, bacteria, plants, animals, and others. The bacteria segment held the largest share of the alpha-amylase baking enzyme market statistics in terms of revenue. Amylase is generally produced by fermentation by the sources such as B. stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis. Bacterial-based enzymes are highly stable and operate over a broad range of pH and temperature conditions, which makes them ideal for usage in various baking applications. Therefore, the above-mentioned factor contributed to the growth of the alpha-amylase baking enzyme market.
Furthermore, plant-based alpha-amylase enzymes are expected to be the fastest-growing source in the market owing to the increasing demand for natural and organic products in the food industry. For instance, according to Economic Research Service, in 2021, organic food product sales in the U.S. accounted for USD 52.0 billion. Thus, the increasing consumption of organic food products due to increasing awareness of synthetic chemicals used in various baking items is expected to drive market growth.

By Type

The type segment is divided into fungal alpha-amylase, bacterial alpha-amylase, maltogenic amylase, and others. In 2022, the bacterial alpha-amylase segment held the highest market share in the alpha-amylase baking enzyme market. Bacterial-based alpha enzyme finds a wide range of applications such as the production of starch syrups, and anti-staling agents. In addition, they are utilized in the sprouting of cereals. Thus, the rising demand for anti-staling agents to keep bread and other baked goods fresh contributed to the growth of the market.
Moreover, the maltogenic amylase segment is anticipated to register the fastest-growing CAGR. the enzyme helps in breaking down starch and converts it into maltose, as a result, has a positive impact on the texture of the bread. Maltogenic amylase delays starch retrogradation and provides a soft texture to the bread with increased shelf-life. Therefore, the abovementioned factors are expected to drive the market growth in the forecast period.

By Application

Based on the application segment, the market is divided into starch syrups cereals, anti-staling agents, bread, cookies, and doughs. Bread segment held the largest market share for alpha-amylase baking enzymes. Bread is consumed on a daily basis in many countries and requires large quantities of enzymes to improve the quality and shelf life of the product. For instance, as per the report published by UK Flour Millers, in the UK nearly 11 billion bread loaves are sold every day as 99. 8% of households buy pieces of bread each day. Hence, the rising demand for bread and other bakery products boosted the growth of the market.
Moreover, the anti-staling segment is anticipated to witness significant growth in the alpha-amylase baking enzyme over the forecast period. Anti-staling agents are ingredients that prevent the natural process of starch retrogradation in baked goods, which leads to their hardening and staleness over time. The increasing demand for baked goods with a longer shelf life and the rising consumer interest in clean labels and natural ingredients is anticipated to surge the demand for alpha-amylase baking enzymes.

By Region:

According to region, the alpha-amylase baking enzyme market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Europe accounted for the largest share of alpha-amylase baking enzymes in 2022. Europe has a well-established baking industry and a high demand for baked goods, which drives the demand for alpha-amylase baking enzymes.
