The industry’s total sales in the three largest markets alone – China, the UK and South Korea – was around EUR 34 billion in 2019.

The challenges posed by this growing demand include trends like consumers’ desire for healthier, vegan or vegetarian products and the clear labelling of ingredients on packaging. Producers of bakery goods also have to contend with increasing environmental requirements and present their products in a more environmentally conscious manner. Even societal changes like the rise in single-person households and increasing mobility affect the industry: packaging sizes and the way that products are prepared change and present growing challenges for producers of food products and bakery goods.
