Market Trends of Asia Pacific Food Acidulants Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Food Acidulants Market according to our research experts:
Bakery Segment will Witness High Penetration Rate
The prospect of population increase is one of the main factor behind the growth of bakery segment in the Asia Pacific region. While bread consumption is a relatively saturated mature market in many Western countries, bread consumption in many Asian countries like that of Indonesia is in its infancy. On the other hand, over the coming years the marginal gap of wheat usage in instant noodles will be replenished by bakery products, thereby, offering significant opportunity for bakery manufacturers. This overall, opens numerous possibilites for acidulants such as citric acid and lactic acid to witness growth in this segment.
China is expected to Lead in Acidulant Consumption
The global acidulants market in Asia Pacific is expected to maintain its dominance during the studied period. The growth is mainly relatable to the increasing adoption of acidulants by food manufacturers in the manufacturing of processed food items. Among all the countries studies across the region, China holds a significant share it terms of acidulants adoption. Consumers in China are aware of the health benefits poised by food acidulants and how they help in increasing products' shelf-life, thereby, improvising the product application through most of the processed food segment.
