Organic Bakery Products Market Trends

• Increase in demand for free-from-food products to propel market growth

Organic bakery products like cookies, rolls, biscuits, savory snacks, bread, cakes, and others are increasing in popularity as consumer preferences shift towards healthier and organic options. These products are higher in protein, dietary fiber, calcium, and other minerals, and they are free of synthetic chemicals and pesticides, making them healthier than conventional bakery products. People with celiac disease, as well as the general health-conscious population, consume gluten-free foods. The demand for gluten-free products stems from the notion that sugar-free and gluten-free foods can aid in weight loss and managing other health issues such as diabetes, obesity, and indigestion. Thus, organic bakery products that claim to be fat-, sugar-, gluten-free, whole wheat, and salt-free are growing popular among health-conscious customers.

Moreover, celiac disease, also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy or celiac sprue, is an immune reaction to gluten, a protein found in barley, wheat, and rye used to produce various bakery products. Eating gluten creates an immune reaction in the small intestine in people with celiac disease. The Celiac Disease Foundation estimated that approximately 1 in 100 people worldwide had the celiac disease in 2021. Similarly, Beyond Celiac estimates that 1 in 133 Americans, or about 1% of the population, have celiac disease. This contributes to the demand for organic bakery products that are free of gluten.

Moreover, consumers prefer natural, vegan, and additive-free products, which has resulted in the launch of numerous free-from products by key players, propelling the expansion of organic bakery products market revenue. Furthermore, the government's increased support for organic food consumption due to the associated health benefits is expected to drive the growth of the organic bakery products market CAGR.

Moreover, the growing disposable income of the population will contribute to increased demand for organic bread products in the coming years. The busy lifestyles of consumers have facilitated the rapid expansion of the bread manufacturing sector, which has prompted the development of new organic bakery products to satisfy the escalating demand from consumers.
