Bulk Food Ingredients Market Analysis

The bulk food ingredients market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.9% over the next five years.

  • The bulk ingredients market is driven by lifestyle factors such as the demand for convenient, packaged, and ready-to-eat foods, including confectionery items, biscuits, beverages, and chocolates. The growth in food service retail chains with an increasing number of eateries and cafes has boosted the market. These establishments purchase a significant quantity of food ingredients such as grains, spices, and herbs from wholesale suppliers. In response to market demand, players are launching new products, such as Emami Group's Mantra Spices, a range of spices launched across India in July 2022.
  • Changing lifestyles, western culture adoption, and an increasing working population are also driving the growth of the bulk ingredients market. Additionally, the shift towards tea and coffee beverages over carbonated drinks is expected to drive market growth. Market players are launching different types of herbal and ayurvedic teas that are also beneficial to health, increasing their demand in many parts of the world. For example, Herbal Green Tea launched a range of herbal teas to improve lifestyles in India in October 2021. As a result, the market is expected to grow over the next five years.
  • However, the lack of infrastructure facilities and the easy contamination of bulk food ingredients, along with volatile price fluctuations, may restrain the global market growth. Players in the market need to focus on developing robust supply chains and storage facilities and maintaining hygiene standards to mitigate these challenges.

Bulk Food Ingredients Market Trends

Increased Demand for Convenience Foods

  • The demand for convenient and prepared food products continues to grow, fueled by changing lifestyles and an increasingly busy working population. Consumers appreciate the reduced preparation time and easy handling that convenience foods offer. This trend has led to an increase in demand for bulk food ingredients among food manufacturers.
  • Moreover, consumers are now more conscious of the ingredients used in their food products and are demanding clean labels and organic ingredients. Natural ingredients, such as organic spices, grains, and other raw materials, offer numerous benefits over synthetic ingredients, and market players are incorporating them into their food and beverage offerings. In July 2022, Sweegen Inc launched a line of Stevia-based sweeteners extracted from organic stevia that can be used in soft drinks and other products.

Asia-Pacific is the Fastest Growing Region

  • Due to urbanization, a growing working population, and the influence of Western culture, there has been an increase in consumer demand for processed food. Additionally, market growth is being driven by the increasing trend of vegan and non-genetically modified organism (GMO) foods. 
  • Plant-based products are particularly popular in Asian countries, leading to a growing demand for organic and non-GMO ingredients like grains, pulses, and cereals in the region. In addition, countries such as China, India, and Japan have a strong inclination toward tea consumption, and as a result, the demand for tea is increasing in the region.
  • In September 2022, Dabur India entered the premium tea category with the introduction of a new product called Dabur Vedic Tea, which is a premium category of black tea that falls under the health supplements section of the market. Over the medium term, the market is expected.
