Players to Benefit from Uptake of Egg Replacement Ingredients

The avian influenza outbreak and its extended prevalence among birds is creating a shortage in supply of eggs worldwide. The epidemic is causing seasonal fluctuations in the prices of eggs.

Further, consumers across Europe and the USA are increasingly preferring bakery goods manufactured using egg alternatives, after traces of fipronil were found in eggs in 2017 and 2018.

European Union is expected to levy high import charges on egg powder in 2019 making it a high priced ingredient for use in baking. Baking industry is gradually shifting to using egg replacement ingredients in the production of their goods to shield themselves from the egg price volatility and lure in more consumers.

With veganism gaining a pervasive prevalence, and consumers associating health benefits with consumption of plant-based and animal-free products, demand for vegan baking ingredients is expected to rise.

Sales Underpinned by Innovation in Ingredients Manufacturing

Baking industry is struggling to produce quality vegan baked goods, owing to the loss of functionality, texture, and mouthfeel that eggs provide. Finding ingredients that can potentially replace eggs in vegan baked goods limits the scope of development for the baking industry.

However, innovations in vegan baking ingredient manufacturing are slowly enabling bakeries to bridge the gap between vegan baked goods and normal bakery items. Numerous companies are working towards the production of vegan baking ingredients that could mimic the texture and taste of bakery products.

For instance, KaTech, a leading manufacturer of stabilizers and emulsifies, announced the launch of new bakery concepts tailored to address the shortcomings in the vegan bakery ingredients.

The company launched an assortment of alternative dairy fillings in different variants such as low-fat and reduced sugar to meet the burgeoning demand for healthier vegan bakery products.

Powdered egg replacers are being manufactured to provide enhanced texture, as they are capable of adding fluffiness in addition to providing the medium required to bind ingredients in bakery products.

Additionally, vegan baking ingredients manufacturers are working towards the development of stabilizers that provide for a better texture and mouthfeel. The increasing number of innovations are estimated to meet the diverse demand of consumers and aid in vegan baking ingredients market proliferation.

Demand Surges in Line With Large Scale Production and Launch of Vegan Bakery Chains

A substantial increase in the number of people following veganism, coupled with a rise in the overall demand for vegan bakery products has led food processing companies to adopt large-scale production.

For instance, Greggs, a leading bakery chain based in Britain recently reported a shortage in supply of its new product offering in vegan sausage rolls alluding to the surging demand for vegan bakery products.

The sudden increase in the demand for vegan bakery goods is prompting new installments of all-vegan bakeries around the world. E-commerce giants announced the launch of an all-vegan online baking store in 2018 after witnessing the massive demand for the products during the Great British Bake Off Week.

To capitalize on the growing demand for vegan bakery products, existing bakeries are also launching new vegan product lines. Large scale investments in all-vegan baking stores are estimated to bolster the demand for vegan baking ingredients.

Sustainability Prevails as a Key Growth Determinant

Growing awareness about the relationship between food production and its impact on the environment is prompting consumers to shift towards brands that incorporate sustainable solutions in food processing and manufacturing.

Although vegan baking ingredients conform to ethical concerns regarding animal treatment, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on streamlining their supply chain operations to keep consumers informed of their sustainable practices and promote sales.

A recent development alluding high traction of sustainable practices in the food processing industry is the Iceland’s ban on palm oil use in vegan bakery products, following reports of child labor, deforestation, and decreasing animal population in Malaysia and Indonesia where it was being sourced from.
