세계의 팽창제 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Leavening Agents Market was valued at USD 7.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% to reach USD 14.1 billion by 2034. Growth in this space is being fueled by rising demand across the bakery, snack, and ready-to-eat food segments, coupled with changing dietary habits and expanding urban populations. Consumers today are leaning into products that offer improved texture, longer shelf life, and clean ingredient lists. The shift toward natural and organic ingredients is also gaining momentum, with fermentation-based agents gaining ground thanks to their health-friendly appeal. Innovations in clean-label formulations and plant-based alternatives are playing a pivotal role in how the market evolves. Meanwhile, brands are increasingly focused on sustainable production, seeking ways to reduce their environmental footprint while enhancing product performance and reducing processing times.

Developments in food manufacturing technology, especially in emerging markets, are opening new possibilities. Evolving consumer expectations, particularly around nutrition and sustainability, are reshaping the leavening agent landscape. Companies are investing in R&D to create solutions that support lower energy consumption and healthier outputs. Demand continues to tilt toward natural, minimally processed inputs, prompting a steady shift toward baking soda, powders, and biological leaveners driven by fermentation methods.

In 2024, the chemical leavening agents segment held a 34.8% share with a valuation of USD 2.6 billion. Despite their widespread use in baking due to consistent performance, chemical leaveners such as acids and bicarbonates are seeing pushback from health-conscious buyers. This has paved the way for biological alternatives like eco-friendly enzymes, including amylases and proteases, which are gradually gaining traction across multiple applications.

The powdered leavening agents segment held a 39.7% share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% through 2034. This format remains a favorite for its versatility, shelf stability, and seamless integration into food production workflows. The ease of use, accuracy in measurement, and instant solubility make powders especially suitable for baked and processed food categories, solidifying their appeal across both large-scale and artisanal production setups.

Europe Leavening Agents Market held a 34.3% share in 2024, owing to the rising demand for healthy, gluten-free, and artisanal baked goods. The region continues to experience strong momentum due to increased consumption of convenience foods and evolving consumer health priorities. Urbanization and lifestyle changes are also spurring growth, especially in emerging markets. The region remains key to the global market's revenue outlook as it embraces clean-label and sustainable ingredient trends.

Notable players shaping this industry include DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Lallemand Inc., Lesaffre Group, Kerry Group plc, and Cargill Incorporated. To strengthen their market position, leading companies are adopting strategies centered on product innovation, global expansion, and sustainable sourcing. They are developing advanced formulations to meet clean-label and allergen-free requirements, while also streamlining production to improve cost efficiency. Mergers and partnerships are helping them reach untapped markets, especially in developing economies. At the same time, companies are investing in environmentally responsible operations and digital transformation in supply chain logistics, reinforcing brand credibility and staying competitive amid evolving consumer expectations.
