Sourdough Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing demand for gluten-free products is notably driving the sourdough market growth, although factors such as the high price of sourdough and shorter shelf life may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the sourdough industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Sourdough Market Driver

The increasing demand for gluten-free products is one of the key drivers supporting the sourdough market growth. 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, the consumption of sourdough products is becoming popular among consumers seeking gluten-free products. Such increasing consumption is driving the market growth.

Key Sourdough Market Trend

Increased sales of private-label sourdough is one of the key sourdough market trends that is contributing to the market growth. Sourdough products are traditionally baked and sold in conventional bakeries and bakery stores. However, increasing sales of sourdough have encouraged supermarkets and other modern retail channels to offer sourdough varieties through their platforms, both through offline and online stores. The retailers have launched their versions in different textures and flavors, like brown sourdough bread, sourdough rye bread, and more. Supermarkets are selling sourdough bread and products through in-store bakeries. Thus, the demand for private-label sourdough is increasing because consumers prefer home-baked and in-store bakeries over industrially baked sourdough bread. Such increasing demand is propelling the sourdough market growth.

Key Sourdough Market Challenge

The high price of sourdough and its shorter shelf life is one of the factors hindering the sourdough market growth. Preparation of sourdough requires specialized skills and is time-consuming, hence priced higher. However, many sourdough products like sourdough bread, sourdough pizza base, and others are prepared and served for consumption within a day or immediately. Ingredients like wild yeast, fats, oil, and others can get contaminated easily if not stored under proper conditions. Also, the packaging requirements for fresh sourdough products are often slight, as most products are for immediate consumption. Storing the products for longer durations might impact the taste and quality of the food. Such factors will hinder the sourdough market growth in the coming years.

This sourdough market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
