Description

Discover the latest global trends and innovations across the bread, bakery and cakes markets. Our forward looking report identifies areas which are evolving, consumer attitudes and important advances expected across the next five years and beyond.

 

Where we are now

To improve health perceptions of bread and bakery products, producers are innovating with a wide range of flavoursome and nutrient-packed ingredients.

In the next two years

Bakery brands will engage with consumers on an emotional level while evolving the conversation on fibre to capitalise on the gut health trend. At the same time, the search continues for solutions to reduce sugar, both covertly and overtly.

In five years and beyond

Bakery brands will grapple with the need to provide very customised experiences for consumers in store or direct to consumer (DTC) in a cost-effective and timely way. At the same time, sustainability goals will see a move from recyclable to edible packaging.
