A leavening agent is an important ingredient in bakery products and has the largest market share in the baking ingredient industry. It is widely used in batters and dough to create absorbent baked goods. There are several leavening agents available, the most common of which are baking powder and yeast. During the forecast period, market growth will be boosted by an increase in health spending and an increase in disposable income. With the growing working population, the demand for nutritious and high-quality meals also grows. Thus, the market is expected to expand significantly. Furthermore, increased concerns about living a healthy lifestyle are driving up demand for leavening agents, which have several functional advantages connected with their use in food items.

Because of their significant impact on dough qualities and final baked goods, leavening agents are in high demand in the global baking business. The leavening products used in bakery goods, which are a crucial element in the consumption of baked goods, impact the crumb's flavor, texture, and color. The bakery industry needs leavening agents since they are used in the baking process of pies, rolls, cakes, biscuits, cookies, and other baked products. Furthermore, the growing popularity of confectionery and home-baked goods is projected to have a long-term influence on the global market.

Manufacturers in the global bakery sector confront strong competition, driving them to offer new items regularly in various tastes and textures. Manufacturers also utilize a range of flours in their production lines, which increases the demand for leavening agents in varying amounts in their products. On the other hand, the market for leavening acid is being restrained by increased demand for natural goods among health-conscious clients. To produce novel leavening agent products for the food and beverage industries, businesses in this market are investing heavily in research and development.
