Frozen bakery Market Trends



  • Growing Urbanization and Preference for Convenience Foods to Accelerate Market Growth


More than half of the world's population now resides in cities, and nearly every nation on the planet is urbanizing more and more. In 2018, there were 4.2 billion people living in urban areas around the world, up from 751 million in 1950, according to the United Nations World Urbanization Report. This means that nearly 55% of the world's population currently resides in urban areas, and by 2050, that number is projected to rise to 68%. As a result, compared to consumers in rural regions, urban consumers have access to a considerably greater selection and better availability of food. Furthermore, this urbanization trend greatly raises living standards and earnings, which has a stronger impact on the affordability of frozen bakery goods. The demand for convenience food products is also developing quickly in tandem with urbanization, mostly as a result of changing lifestyles, an increase in nuclear families, a rise in the percentage of working women, and a reduction in the amount of time spent on meal preparation. Due to their portability and lengthy shelf lives, frozen bakery products have a strong argument for their market to increase at an accelerated rate. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR for frozen bakery.


However, consumers are striving to lead healthier lives in keeping with their evolving lifestyles. Customers are looking for particular healthy, convenient, and light foods, such as slices of bread, etc., due to busy schedules and lengthening work shifts. Almost all industrial bakers in Europe now have bake-off bakery output as one of their main objectives. Baking from scratch is time- and labor-consuming. Traditional baking is being replaced by Bake-Off technology in the business (BOT). Unfermented frozen dough (UFD) partially baked frozen bread (PBF), and partially baked unfrozen bread are the three main BOTs (PBUF). In particular for the hotel and catering industries, frozen semi-baked items and ready-to-bake goods are significant product categories for the food business. The majority of bakery goods, such as bread, rolls, and bagels, are sold in ready-to-thaw form, whereas croissants and pastries are sold in ready-to-bake form. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada predicted that 4.1 thousand metric tonnes of frozen baked goods would be sold in retail in 2021. This was an increase of 100 metric tonnes compared to numbers forecast for 2020, and it represents an increase of about 8% compared to predictions from 2017. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate frozen bakery market revenue.
