Bakery Products Market Trends



  • Mounting demand for convenient food products to boost the market growth


Convenience is the primary driver for the bakery market. The fast-paced lifestyle increases the need to adopt convenient solutions in all aspects of life. Long working hours make it difficult for consumers to spend more time cooking. Thus, a hectic lifestyle boosts the consumption of ready-to-eat bakery products such as bread, cookies, cakes, tortillas, frozen pizza, and biscuits. Furthermore, high spending capacity and growing urbanization that results in a fast-paced lifestyle also play an essential role in surging the demand for convenient food. For example, in the US, doughnuts are considered anytime food and are often eaten as a meal substitute, whereas cakes are usually consumed as snacks.


Further, increasing consumer preference for convenience bakery products indirectly encourages the demand for frozen bakery products as they require less time and effort. The processed food market is driven by the increase in the need for convenience due to busy customer lifestyles. This, in turn, has led to an expansion in demand for frozen bakery products. In addition, the high growth of the frozen food industry due to the fast-growing urban households of developing countries is projected to drive the demand for frozen bakery products. The rise in per capita income and increased snacking between meals are the key factors encouraging the demand for frozen bakery products. The development of retail channels in supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, and specialty stores has enhanced the bakery products market CAGR across the globe in recent years.


Additionally, the growing trends of "natural nutrition," "healthy living," and "organic products" have significantly enhanced the demand for whole wheat, natural, light (low calorie), and additive-free bakery products. Furthermore, the increase in demand for healthy food is driving the demand for whole wheat, gluten-free, and multigrain bakery products. The increased availability of such specialized bakery products will further aid the growth of the bakery products market revenue.
