Bread improvers play a crucial role in defining the functional and physical properties of bakery products. Bread improvers are used to boost taste, texture, color, and stability of bakery products such as cakes, donuts, buns, biscuits bread, croissants, rolls, and pizza. Emulsifiers are among the major ingredients that are primarily used as bread improvers in bakery product applications. Additional ingredients such as oxidizing agents, enzymes, and reducing agents are also commonly used in bakery applications. Bakery companies have been progressively innovating their product offerings to fulfill consumer demand on functional and taste requirements including high nutritional value and low fat. Demand for different varieties of bread such as multigrain and whole wheat spurs the need for bread improvers. Owing to these factors, the global bread improvers market is expected to cross US$ 5.3 Bn through 2029.
On account of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the dynamics of the food and beverage industry has changed remarkably. The probability of smaller companies and micro bakeries of surviving the looming recession caused due to COVID-19 is vulnerable. On the other hand, likelihood of bigger commercial bakeries surviving is substantially high. Nonetheless, this does not protect the bigger companies from the ongoing turmoil. Some leading players such as PepsiCo have already halt their production of cereals and snacks owing to rapidly spreading COVID-19 infection among people. Similarly, other companies have ramped up their production to offset the growing threat from COVID-19 pandemic. Post normalization of the COVID-19 situation, bread improvers will start gaining impetus.
