Sourdough is a bread leavening agent that relies on the natural fermentation process driven by wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria present in the environment. This traditional method involves fermenting a mixture of flour and water to create a distinctively flavorful and textured bread.
The main types of sourdough include Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. Type 1 sourdough contains pure culture sourdough starters with various origins and is the traditional form that necessitates continuous propagation. The ingredients used in Type 1 sourdough may include wheat, barley, and oats. It finds applications in various products such as breads and buns, cakes and pastries, cookies, pizza, and others.

The sourdough market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.74 billion in 2023 to $2.93 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing consumer demand for artisanal and specialty foods, heightened awareness of gluten sensitivity, endorsements and television shows featuring celebrity chefs, a focus on the slow food movement, a rising emphasis on locally sourced ingredients, and the influence of global culinary fusion. These factors collectively contributed to the popularity and growth of sourdough during the historic period.
The sourdough market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.78 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to prevailing health and wellness trends, the surge in home baking practices, the influence of food bloggers and influencers, the premiumization of baked goods, and the elevated culture of snacking. Major trends in the forecast period include innovative packaging and visually appealing presentation, sustainable sourdough practices, the emergence of gluten-free sourdough options, online sourdough workshops and communities, and ongoing flavor innovations.
The expected growth of the sourdough market is driven by the increasing health awareness among consumers. Health consciousness involves a growing awareness and emphasis on maintaining and improving one's health and well-being. Sourdough bread, being a fermented product, is often perceived as a healthier alternative to conventional bread due to potential digestive benefits and a lower glycemic index. The rise in the adoption of specific diets or eating patterns, as indicated by a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council in May 2022, underscores the increasing focus on health among consumers. Popular diets include clean eating, mindful eating, calorie counting, and plant-based diets. This growing health awareness is contributing to the surge in demand for sourdough products.
Major companies in the sourdough market are strategically developing sustainable products, such as organic whole wheat sourdough, to gain a competitive advantage. Organic whole wheat sourdough refers to sourdough bread made exclusively with organic whole wheat flour, offering a wholesome and hearty loaf that embraces natural fermentation for leavening. For example, Puratos USA launched Sapore Leo Organic in April 2021, a sourdough product crafted from 100% organic whole wheat and naturally fermented to achieve a subtle acetic flavor profile. This innovation is positioned as the sole shelf-stable liquid whole wheat sourdough available, addressing consumer preferences for organic and wholesome bakery products.
In January 2021, Puratos, a US-based manufacturer of innovative bakery ingredients, acquired Ruskhleb for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening Puratos' presence in the Russian market and enhancing its product portfolio with local expertise and offerings. Ruskhleb, a Russia-based manufacturer of bakery and pastry ingredients, including dry sourdough, baking and pastry mixes, and dietary blends, aligns with Puratos' strategic expansion plans and commitment to providing high-quality bakery solutions globally.
