Market Trends of US Food Enzymes Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the US Food Enzymes Market according to our research experts:
Rising Demand for Specialty Food Ingredients
Consumers in the United States are leaning toward healthy food ingredients in their food products owing to the prevalence of obesity and diabetes in the country, which induces the consumers to focus on an improved lifestyle. For that reason, manufacturers are acquiring native players to cater to consumers with hale and hearty ingredients. Functional food ingredients are the dominant specialty ingredients that are used in a wide range of applications and are growing at a robust pace in the US market. The high demand for functional food products, due to their fortified, enriched, or enhanced food qualities, is ultimately leading to the high demand for these ingredients in the US market.
Bakery is the Fastest Growing Segment
The market value of enzymes is increasing rapidly because of the increasing population and the consequent increasing consumption of processed foods. Enzymes are an important ingredient used in most bakery products. Recently, enzymes have assumed an even greater role in baking, due to the restrictions on the use of chemical additives, especially in the manufacture of bread and other fermented products. These enzymes when added to the dough, improve the control on the baking process, allowing the use of different baking processes, reducing process time, slowing-down staling, compensating for flour variability, and substituting chemical additives.
