The sourdough market has witnessed significant expansion due to several factors. Firstly, there has been a growing consumer preference for natural and artisanal food products, with sourdough bread being considered a healthier and more flavorful alternative to conventional bread. Sourdough is often perceived as easier to digest and lower in gluten content compared to other bread types, making it appealing to individuals with gluten sensitivities.
The market value is projected to increase from US$ 213.8 Million in 2022 to US$ 365.2 Million by 2032. During the projected period, the Sourdough market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3 %.
Sourdough bread has gained popularity in recent years, leading to the growth of the sourdough market. Sourdough bread is made using a natural fermentation process that involves a combination of flour and water, which forms a starter culture containing wild yeast and lactobacilli bacteria. This fermentation process gives sourdough its distinct tangy flavor and unique texture.
