Europe Malt Extract Market Will Increase at a CAGR of 5.6% During 2016-2026

Valley Cottage, NY, May 12, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Rising consumer awareness about the high nutritive value of diastatic malt extract will continue to drive the growth of Europe malt extract market. Increasing health awareness and rising consumer demand for traditional foods will also influence demand. However, non-availability of substitutes and shortage of malt owing to increasing usage in breweries can impede demand. These insights are according to a new research report by Future Market Insights.

The key trends influencing the Europe malt extract market include,

Increasing preference for gluten-free bakery products: Concerns about rising obesity levels is prompting consumers in Europe to opt for gluten-free bakery products. Gluten-free malt extract is used as a colouring and sweetening agent in a variety of products. Owing to this, it is expected that demand for malt extracts will witness steady growth during the period 2016-2026.

Government regulation on additive-free products: The industry-wide focus on additive-free products has led to increased demand for malt extracts, as these reduce the need of adding synthetic flavours, resulting in extended shelf life of products.

Marketing aligned with ‘health and wellness’: Manufacturers are focusing on selling the "health and wellness" attributes of malt extracts, by creating relevant marketing campaigns.

Preference for sugar-free label products: Non-diastatic malt extracts naturally convert to sugar, reducing the need for addition of sugar. Owing to these factors, demand for malt extracts is expected to witness an increase during 2016-2026.
