Wheat gluten is used in the bakery industry. It is used in bakery products such as pasta, bread, and pastries. Its viscoelastic properties improve the dough's strength, while its water absorption capacity enables improvised product yield, softness, and shelf-life of baked products. In Europe, the rise in the aging population and growing health concerns have compelled consumers to opt for healthier alternatives such as value-added baked goods. Increasing disposable incomes and higher living standards have boosted the demand for bakery products in Europe.

Bread and biscuits are the most consumed products; however, the demand for other bakery items, such as cakes, pastries, and cookies, is also increasing. Kroner-Starke, a German-based company, provides vital wheat gluten, which finds application in bakery products. Furthermore, a well-known company, Kellogg's, provides wheat protein-based snacks such as Pop-Tarts are a popular toaster pastry that typically contains wheat protein. Nestle also provides such as Nestle Crunch and Toll House Cookies. The bakery sector in the wheat protein market witnesses a paradigm shift in consumer interest toward health-enriching and functional foods.

The dry form of wheat proteins is preferred among manufacturers of the food & beverage industry due to several benefits. Wheat proteins in the dry form are characterized by better stability and, ease of handling & better storage conditions compared to the liquid form.

By region, Asia-Pacific will drive market growth during the forecast period

Wheat proteins are highly cost-effective as compared to other proteins and find applications in various food industries, mainly bakeries. Bakery products account for a significant share of the food processing industry, and their consumption continues to rise due to the growing population, rising awareness, and increasing urbanization. The overall investment level in Asia and the Pacific regions has increased substantially over the past decade, especially in China, which contributes to rapid economic growth.
