Bread Improvers Market Size to Reach USD 2.47 Billion by 2030, Driven by Clean-Label Enzymes, Industrial Baking Demand, and Frozen Dough Adoption

Introduction 

The global bread improvers market size is valued at USD 1.80 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 2.47 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.55%.

Automation, premium convenience foods, and wider use of frozen dough technologies are expanding adoption.
