Africa Food Stabilizers Market Trends and Insights
Acquisitive Demand of Food Stabilizers in Bakery & Confectionery
The demand for stabilizers in the bakery and confectionery industries has witnessed a significant increase in the market as stabilizers make up a very small part of the final product, but have a significant impact on the final packaged product. The stabilizers in baking products maintain the structure of the baked product and also helps in the retention of water, therefore increases the shelf life of the food. Therefore the rising demand for bakery and confectionery products in the region is expected to propel the stabilizer market growth in the country. According to the South African Chamber of Baking, total bread production increased in 2016 from 171 million loaves baked in January 2016 to 182 million loaves in December 2016. This was as a result of consumers replacing maize meal with bread because of the higher price of maize products brought about by severe drought and the weaker South African rand. However, the current drought in the Western Cape where more than 60% of South Africa's wheat is planted has also meant that approximately 51% of the country's wheat is imported at import parity prices.
