Baking Powder Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The baking powder market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.79% over the forecast period to reach US$5.347 billion in 2030, up from US$4.231 billion in 2025.

Baking has been a part of food production since its employment in the Fertile Crescent about six thousand years ago. The odorless white powder, referred to as baking powder, has been equivalently revolutionary and has further aided in radically shortening the cooking time resulting in the development of a new breed of fast baked goods like gingerbread,cookies, and the like. This functional benefit has remained the prime factor facilitating the baking powder market growth.

Additionally, with shifting consumer preferences for exotic bakery products in developing economies, increased availability of allergen-free variants of traditional bakery products, an increasing number of urban home bakers, expanding retail footprint, and rising female labor-force participation, particularly in high-income and emerging economies, leading to increased availability of disposable income, among other factors, are expected to propel the global baking powder market to unprecedented heights. Bakery products have been a staple in every household since time immemorial.

• The major buyers of baking powder are hypermarkets, supermarkets, and industrial buyers for their usage in cooking hamburgers, bread, and pizza. Major retailers purchase substantial quantities of products directly from the manufacturers, thus eliminating distributors in the market and supply chain. The consumer market is relatively smaller; therefore, the significance of wholesalers and retailers has surged. Online sales are expected to rise as major food companies are expanding their portfolio and are providing their baking products online. Manufacturers are also developing and innovating their distribution channels to minimize the bargaining power of major retailers.
• The baking powder industry is competitive, where regional and local players have a significant market share. There are some limitations to the baking powder market, such as the availability of a substitute product and health problems caused by the powder. But, regardless of the limitations, the market is expected to grow.
