The fermented foods and beverages market is expected to hit a staggering $1,001.58 billion by 2030, growing at a steady annual rate of 6.3% from 2023 to 2030. These foods and beverages, made through controlled microbial growth and fermentation, are not only rich in unique flavors but also boast enhanced nutritional profiles and textures.
The Fermentation Process
During fermentation, live microorganisms work on plant-derived ingredients, leading to several chemical changes that improve the nutritional value and health benefits of the final product. This process results in higher bioactive molecule content and increased antioxidant activity, particularly in fermented milk, cereals, fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish. This has driven key market players to integrate more fermented fruits and vegetables into their offerings.
