The “Africa Microbial Food Culture Market – Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2017 – 2022)” report has been added to Research and Markets’ offering.
Fermented foods have grown tremendously in recent years resulting in a profitable market for food culture. The demand for traditional foods, beverages and the growing probiotic and functional food market in Africa, are driving the microbial food culture market (MFC).
The high consumption of fermented foods and alcoholic beverages in Africa is boosting the MFC market growth. Moreover, traditional fermented foods and beverages are also a major section in the Africa MFC market. Probiotics and functional foods are an emerging market boosting the African MFC market growth; which has widened the application market from dairy to bakery. Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts have been used since long in the dairy and bakery applications, capturing a huge market.
Moreover, the probiotic market, which has grown at a fast rate in recent years, has triggered the market growth. Consumers are looking for live food cultures that have positive health benefits. Despite the growing market, there is a need for innovative, different strains of cultures with high potential value in food processing. Biotechnological innovations are playing a great role in the advancement of microbial cultures. However, MFC requires strict growth environment, which is sometimes hard to maintain in the processing plants and this hinders the market growth.
