Sourdough Market Size Worth $4.28 Billion By 2032 | CAGR: 8.2%


The global Sourdough market size is expected to reach USD 4.28 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Sourdough Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Type I, Type II, Type III); By Ingredients; By Application; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Sourdough bread, characterized by lower gluten levels, reduced antinutrients, and increased prebiotics, promotes improved digestion. The utilization of sourdough products offers a healthier option compared to those crafted with regular dough, contributing to the rising market demand for sourdough. The presence of lactobacillus and wild yeast aids in neutralizing the leaven's acidity (phytic acid), making sourdough items like buns, pastries, bread, waffles, cakes, and cookies easily digestible, unlike their counterparts made from regular dough. Additionally, the inclusion of essential nutrients in sourdoughs, such as magnesium, iron, B vitamins, folic acid, and zinc, positions these products as a preferred choice globally, driven by their enhanced health benefits, thereby fostering the growth of the sourdough market.

During the assessed period, there was a consistent global increase in the demand for various baked goods, including bread, buns, cakes, and pastries. Consumers worldwide expressed a preference for bakery products that provide functional benefits and align with their specific dietary needs and preferences. Consequently, many manufacturers have introduced baked goods made from sourdough to meet these evolving consumer priorities. These sourdough-based products are acknowledged as healthier alternatives to those produced with regular dough due to the presence of lactobacillus and yeast, which neutralize acids in the dough, facilitating easier digestion compared to products made with regular dough.

Moreover, a scientific study titled "Functional and Healthy Features of Conventional and Non-Conventional Sourdoughs," published in the Applied Sciences journal by MDPI in April 2021, revealed that sourdough fermentation could result in a lower glycemic index, increased mineral bioavailability, reduced gluten content, and decreased starch digestibility. These effects primarily occur through the production of organic acids and other complementary mechanisms, further emphasizing the health benefits associated with sourdough.
