Market Overview

According to MRFR, the Global Frozen Baking Goods Industry is forecast to record a CAGR of 7.50 percent and to hit USD 26,366.8 Mn by 2027.

COVID-19 Analysis

The consumer food & beverage industry first encountered high demand for kitchen staples, nutritious food items, and long shelf-life consumables in the wake of the global pandemic crisis and the unending lockdown across countries. In the early stages of the crisis, demand for frozen food products, fruits and vegetables, eggs, flour and whole grains, among others, saw a significant increase. Many businesses in the sector are currently faced with low consumption of their products and issues with the supply chain. Businesses focus more on changing their supply chains in order to boost their web presence and logistics programmes in an attempt to adapt to the current market environment. Changes in consumer buying behaviour and dynamic changes in online and D2C sales networks may have significant repercussions for the industry's near-future growth. In order to better package their frozen goods, Hudson Bread teamed up with Niverplast. For almost 35 years, New York City and New Jersey's foodservice industry have relied on Hudson Bread as their artisan bread source. By introducing Niverplast's CombiPlast, an automatic case erecting and bag inserting machine, and Niverplast's VarioSeal, an automatic uncuffing and sealing machine that can adapt to different-sized boxes, Hudson Bread was able to meet the changing needs of its customers during the COVID-19 pandemic by expanding its product line to include frozen bread.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Growing Adoption of Convenience Foods to Drive Market Growth

The rising wave of consumption of convenience food started in the western world and expanded quickly to other regions across the globe. Consumers choose convenience foods because they are easy to eat and have nutritious content, versatility and appeal to the commodity. Due to evolving habits, consumers spend less time planning and cooking at home as they perceive preparing food at home to be a time-consuming and energy-consuming operation. Increasing intake of comfort food is motivated by the desire to build more spare time, which means that customers are searching for choices that will help them optimise their free time and do the things they enjoy more. This, along with an increase in disposable per capita income, is projected to increase demand for frozen bakery goods. As a result, growing demand for convenience food is projected to fuel the growth of the global market for frozen bakery items during the review period.

Opportunities

Launch of New Products to Create Growth Avenues

Development in the demand for frozen baking products is also paving the way for tremendous growth in the packaged food industry and vice versa.

By Category

By Distribution Channel

Supermarkets & hypermarkets, convenience stores, and others are further segmented into the store-based section. The greater market share was compensated for in 2018 by the store.

Regional Analysis

Four main regions, including the Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and the rest of the world, have been given a geographical description of the global economy.

APAC market to Register the Highest CAGR

During the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR. In developing countries such as India and China, frozen bakery goods are projected to gain potential demand due to the growth in disposable income and purchasing power parity (PPP) of the increasing population of these nations. Raw material price fluctuations and preference for freshly baked goods are constraints for industry participants in frozen bakery products.

Growing Expansion of End-Use Sectors to Drive  Europe Market Growth

During the forecast period, Europe is projected to represent the dominant share of the demand for frozen bakery goods. In 2018, the region accounted for a 39.71% share of the market. In the European zone, developed markets limit further development and producers are forced to search for new business prospects in emerging economies. The preference for conventional, freshly baked goods, the fragmented business situation and the uncertainty of raw material prices serve as constraints on the development of the frozen baking products market. The United Kingdom is the main contributor to the European market's growth. During the forecast period from 2020 to 2026, the demand in the area is expected to report a CAGR of 7.28 percent.

U.S. accounted to Lead the North America Market

Consumption of frozen bakery products is also high in North America, and a modest growth rate of 7.35 percent during the forecast period is expected for the industry. Asia-Pacific, however, is expected to encounter the highest CAGR during the 2020-2027 projection period.South Korean millennials and generation Z increasingly prefer bakery products to rice, so it's no surprise that frozen bakery products released by Shinsegae Food, a food firm linked with South Korea's retail powerhouse Shinsegae Group, are becoming increasingly popular.

According to a statement released by Shinsegae Food in August, online sales of parbaked and frozen bakery items increased by 102 percent in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period in the previous year.
