Baking powder market size

The baking powder market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.79% over the forecast period to reach US$5.347 billion in 2030, up from US$4.231 billion in 2025.

Baking has been a part of food production since its employment in the Fertile Crescent about six thousand years ago. The odorless white powder, referred to as baking powder, has been equivalently revolutionary and has further aided in radically shortening the cooking time resulting in the development of a new breed of fast baked goods like gingerbread, cookies, and the like. This functional benefit has remained the prime factor facilitating the baking powder market growth.

Additionally, with shifting consumer preferences for exotic bakery products in developing economies, increased availability of allergen-free variants of traditional bakery products, an increasing number of urban home bakers, expanding retail footprint, and rising female labor-force participation, particularly in high-income and emerging economies, leading to increased availability of disposable income, among other factors, are expected to propel the global baking powder market to unprecedented heights. Bakery products have been a staple in every household since time immemorial.

• The major buyers of baking powder are hypermarkets, supermarkets, and industrial buyers for their usage in cooking hamburgers, bread, and pizza. Major retailers purchase substantial quantities of products directly from the manufacturers, thus eliminating distributors in the market and supply chain. The consumer market is relatively smaller; therefore, the significance of wholesalers and retailers has surged. Online sales are expected to rise as major food companies are expanding their portfolio and are providing their baking products online. Manufacturers are also developing and innovating their distribution channels to minimize the bargaining power of major retailers.
• The baking powder industry is competitive, where regional and local players have a significant market share. There are some limitations to the baking powder market, such as the availability of a substitute product and health problems caused by the powder. But, regardless of the limitations, the market is expected to grow.

What are the drivers of the baking powder market?

• Rapid urbanization across the globe is propelling the demand for bakery products

With the growing income and urbanization, the demand for baking powder has risen. There is a significant market for ready-to-eat snacks and foods. There is a high demand for fast food products because of the change in consumers’ eating behavior. Consumers have become more aware and knowledgeable about their wellness and health. There is a substantial surge in the consumption of health-based bakery products. The consumption of nutrition bars, high-fiber bread, and breakfast cereals meets consumer demand for a balanced and healthier diet. Baking powder is required for wellness and health-oriented food products.

There is a substantial surge in the demand for convenience foods that are ready to eat and easily available. There is also a need for yeast-based food products such as doughnuts, pizzas, cakes, cookies, and hamburgers. Therefore, the demand for junk food products is expected to rise by analyzing consumer behavior, the significant change in their lifestyle, and the surge in income. Hence, the baking powder market is expected to surge.

Baking powder market geographical outlook:

• The baking powder market is segmented into five regions worldwide

By geography, the baking powder market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region, such as ASEAN countries. Countries like India and China will register significant growth because of rising urbanization.

According to the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS), the top importers of prepared baking powders in 2023 were Saudi Arabia with an import of 11,934,000 Kg, Canada with an import of 6,488,490 Kg, Philippines with 7,758,170 Kg, followed by Indonesia import of 2,757,720 Kg, and the United States had 4,056,690 Kg.

Baking powder market challenges:

• Baking soda has been restraining the baking powder market growth

Baking soda has a bigger share than baking powder because of its longevity and is comparatively more powerful than baking powder. Moreover, consumers are more inclined to purchase baking soda rather than baking powder as it is relatively easier to replace the powder with soda. Baking soda is more alkaline because of its properties. There are a lot of other challenges, such as consumer awareness of avoiding junk foods. Eating junk food causes a lot of health problems. Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate compounds, which have many side effects on the body. This has become a major challenge in the baking powder market’s expansion. There are a lot of companies that are spending a significant amount of capital to develop a substitute for baking powder.

• Double acting baking powder accounts for a significant market share.

Based on the product, baking powder is segmented into phosphate, anhydrous phosphate, sodium aluminum sulfate, phosphate, tartrate, and single and double-acting baking powder. Double-acting baking powder is the most popular baking powder available on the market and holds a major market share. It is similar to single-acting baking powder but contains two dry acids instead of one. The first acid reacts with the liquid while mixing the arrangement, and the second is sodium aluminum sulfate. It has two reactions, giving a consumer more flexibility while cooking. This is the reason for the surge in the demand for double-acting baking powder. Other baking powder products will generate dull growth, and the double-acting powder will maintain a significant share in the future.
