The global bulk food ingredients market size is expected to reach USD 409.56 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Surging demand for convenience foods and technological advancement in the food & beverage industry propels the market growth.
Bulk food ingredients are commodities used in processed foods, packaged, and ready-to-eat foods like confectionery items, chocolates, biscuits, beverages, etc. The shift in consumer lifestyles toward western cultures has led to increased demand for processed and ready-to-eat food and drinks.
Increasing benefits of packaged and convenience food, which require less preparation time and easy handling, are the prominent factors that offer an advantage to the consumers in their busy life cycle. These factors drive the consumption of bulk food ingredients in emerging economies such as India, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
Increasing consumer awareness of eating healthy food and rising preference for natural and organic ingredients among consumers are anticipated to boost the market demand.
In 2020, according to International Coffee Organization, the global coffee production reached 169.63 million 60-kilogram bags. In 2018, global tea production amounted to over 5.8 million metric tons of tea. These factors boost the consumption of bulk food ingredients in the tea, coffee, and cocoa segment.
The shift from commodity/bulk ingredients to value-added ingredients and the lack of adequate infrastructure for the storage of bulk commodities are the major factors hampering market growth.
