“Increasing Demand for Instant Dry Yeast”
- A significant trend in the Asia-Pacific yeast market, observed as of mid-May 2025, is the escalating demand for instant dry yeast
- This form of yeast is gaining popularity among both household consumers and industrial bakers due to its convenience, longer shelf life, and ease of direct incorporation into dough without prior activation
- The busy lifestyles prevalent in many parts of Asia-Pacific, coupled with the expanding bakery and confectionery sector, are driving this preference
- For instance, in urban centers across China and India, the demand for convenient baking ingredients is rising, leading to increased sales of instant dry yeast through both online and offline channels
- This trend is further supported by the growth of e-commerce platforms, making instant dry yeast more accessible to a wider consumer base across the region
