Insight by Type

The type III segment dominated the market and generated highest revenue in the estimated year. Type III is the most widely used for commercial purposes across the globe. Type III products are preferred by industrial bakers as it increases the shelf life of the products while maintaining their consistency. These are frequently thought to be the best ingredients for giving baked goods an authentic flavor.

Type II is expected to have a largest share in the market during the projected period. Type II is an industrial sourdough that requires strain adaptation during the fermentation process. This particular product is easily pumpable (industrial bakery) since it can also be available in liquid form.

The product has a low pH value of 3.5 or less, which enables chilling and storage for a week. Type I dough is usually solid, with a pH range between 3.8 and 4.5. Unlike type II and type III dough, type I prevents the incorporation of baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) as a leaving component.

Insight by Application

Bread application segment dominated the market and generated the highest revenue in 2020. The segment is anticipated to have a steady growth rate during the projected timeframe to maintain its dominant position.
