Explore the latest global innovations across the Baking Ingredients and Sugar market in 2023. Our global baking ingredients industry report identifies evolving areas, consumer attitudes, and important advances expected across regions like EMEA, APAC, and LATAM.
Innovations in Baking Ingredients and Sugar – EMEA
Following the return to some form of pre-COVID lifestyles, Europeans are baking less frequently at home. When they do, consumers want fuss-free and quick baking preparations. Brands in the baking ingredients market continue to focus innovation around consumers’ need for convenience. Easy-to-use options that don’t compromise quality for convenience are likely to appeal to consumers who are short on time but also value conscious.
Innovations in Baking Ingredients and Sugar – APAC
There is a growing desire for healthier lifestyles among consumers in the APAC region. As consumers are becoming more conscious of their sugar intake, the quest for healthy sweeteners continues. Sweeteners with interesting heritage stories, such as jaggery, are likely to stand out as the longevity of these products builds trust with consumers.
Innovations in Baking Ingredients and Sugar – Americas
In North America, brands are helping consumers find enjoyment in baking. Consumers are in need of joyful respites after a turbulent few years. Baking ingredient products that amplify flavors, colors, textures, aromas and interactivity can create moments of happiness that help consumers rediscover their playful side again.

“Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.”

“One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.
We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.
We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.”
Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch
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.
