In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the increasing demand for gluten-free products as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global sourdough market:

Increasing demand for gluten-free products

Gluten is a mixture of proteins found in wheat, rye, barley, oat, and kamut, which provides excellent elasticity to the dough. Many consumers are allergic and intolerant to gluten. The generation of an antibody against the gluten protein causes gluten allergy and is found mostly among children. Gluten intolerance is an abnormal immune reaction to gluten. It affects the small intestine and causes digestive problems.

Wheat bread is usually unsuitable for gluten-insensitive consumers as it contains a high amount of gluten. Similarly, conventional pizza bases and waffles are also unsuitable for consumers suffering from gluten insensitivity. Sourdough is completely gluten-free. During the sourdough preparation process, four gluten-forming proteins such as globulin, prolamin, glutelin, and albumin are broken down. It also dissolves most water-insoluble protein bonds that lead to gluten intolerance. Thus, consumption of sourdough products is becoming popular among consumers seeking for gluten-free products.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for food research, “Some of the primary driving factors for the global sourdough market are changes in the dietary pattern and lifestyles of consumers over the past two decades. Emerging economies in different regions in APAC and South and Central America are promising markets for sourdough products during the forecast period.”
