According to YH Research, the global market for Fermented Food and Ingredients should grow from US$ 69113 million in 2024 to US$ 103303 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 6.1% for the period of 2025-2031.

Fermented food refers to foods that are transformed through the fermentation process, where microorganisms (such as bacteria, yeasts, and molds) break down the raw ingredients into simpler compounds, resulting in distinct flavors, textures, and nutritional content. Fermentation is an ancient biological process used in food processing, during which microorganisms metabolize sugars, proteins, and fats from raw materials, producing acids, gases, and other by-products that give the food its unique taste, texture, and extended shelf life. Common fermented foods include yogurt, sauerkraut, tofu, miso, soy sauce, kimchi, beer, wine, and more.

In-depth insight into market trends

The product range of fermented foods is extensive, covering various sectors such as dairy products, meat products, vegetables, fruits, alcoholic beverages, and drinks. Dairy products like yogurt and cheese are among the most common fermented foods, where beneficial bacteria proliferate during fermentation, promoting gut health. Condiments such as soy sauce and miso, made from fermented soybeans, not only provide a distinct flavor but also enhance their nutritional value. Beverages such as beer and wine are crucial fermented products where yeast fermentation plays a central role. Additionally, vegetable-based fermented foods (like kimchi, sauerkraut) hold a rich cultural significance in regions such as Asia and Europe.

Globally, the fermented food market is experiencing significant growth, driven mainly by the increasing consumer demand for healthy and functional foods. With a growing focus on gut health and immunity, the probiotic properties of fermented foods have become a central driver of market demand. For example, probiotics found in yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi are widely believed to aid digestion, enhance immunity, and improve overall health. As a result, an increasing number of consumers are turning to fermented foods as a key part of their diet.

Key opportunities in the market include the growing demand for healthy foods and the widespread acceptance of fermented foods in global diets. As the health benefits of fermented foods become more recognized, the market is also evolving toward healthier options such as low-sugar and low-fat fermented products. Additionally, innovations in fermentation technology and raw materials have led to the diversification of fermented food categories.

However, the market also faces certain risks, such as fluctuations in raw material costs, hygiene and safety issues during production, and consumer adaptation to the taste of fermented foods. Moreover, the market concentration is gradually increasing, with large multinational companies dominating the global production and sales of fermented foods, which may limit market entry opportunities for smaller companies.

The downstream demand trends indicate that younger consumers are increasingly seeking convenient, healthy, and innovative food options, driving the growth of functional and ready-to-eat fermented foods. For example, the demand for fermented beverages and ready-to-eat yogurt is rapidly growing among younger consumers.
