The global biscuits market is seeing varied growth across different regions in 2025, with certain areas showing more substantial expansion. Notably, Japan’s biscuit market continues to grow despite challenges, driven largely by sweet biscuits. In contrast, France is witnessing a decline in biscuit consumption, but there’s an increasing demand for biscuits as affordable indulgences, with private labels gaining popularity. Germany is experiencing growth primarily driven by price, with sweet biscuits also taking the lead. Overall, sweet biscuits remain the dominant segment of the market, driving growth due to their widespread appeal and diverse offerings.
Several trends are shaping the growth of the global biscuits market. With a shift towards healthier lifestyles, consumers increasingly opt for biscuits that cater to health-conscious choices, such as those with low sugar or organic ingredients. There is also a rising trend towards clean-label products, emphasising simplicity and transparency, with claims like “free-from” additives gaining traction. Furthermore, innovative flavours and ingredients capture consumer interest, while the demand for indulgent yet health-considerate treats continues to influence market dynamics. This evolving consumer preference landscape is pushing manufacturers to adapt and innovate continuously.

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.
Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.
It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
