Market Trends of Europe Food Emulsifiers Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe Food Emulsifiers Market according to our research experts:
Bakery Segment Held the Largest Share of the Market
Emulsifiers play a significant role in the bakery segment, as the absence of emulsifiers in baked products results in dry, stale, tough, and tasteless features. Emulsifiers perform critical functions in baked goods, such as protein strengthening, starch complexing, and aeration. The European market is at its peak, as its consumption of bread and baked products is comparatively higher than other regions. The bakery market in Europe is more open toward innovation, and it has been responding positively to consumer demand over the past few years. Additionally, the rising demand for gluten-free products across the region, on account of the prevailing diet problems, is likely to address the shift of emulsifiers toward the gluten-free bakery products.
United Kingdom is the Largest Market
The United Kingdom consists of a wide share of the market that is driven by the bakery and confectionery segments. The major share of the flour produced in the country goes to the bakery industry, thus, contributing to the market studied. The consumers of the country are indulged in frequent snacking habits. However, with rising health awareness, the aging population of the country is seeking healthier alternatives for snacks. This creates an opportunity for the manufacturers to use emulsifiers obtained from different sources. Additionally, the consumption of plant-based emulsifiers is projected to rise, owing to the growing trend of veganism in the country.
