Introduction:
The Indian bakery market is being driven by the growing demand for biscuits and cookies, rapid
advancement in
technology, and increasing population in the region. In the food processing industry, bakery, which
is also a
traditional activity, holds an important place. Bakery products have become preferred consumer
choice due to
their high nutrient value and affordability and are an item of huge consumption in the region. With
the fluctuating
eating habits of people due to their busy lifestyle, coupled with the rising demand for western
taste, bakery
products have gained huge popularity. The emergence of a female working population is further
contributing
significantly to the growth trajectory of the Indian bakery market.
Bakery products like bread and biscuits are quite popular among millennials due to their convenient
and affordable
nature.
Further, the growing use of online platforms in the region is enhancing the
'click and
collect' trend, with
millennials ordering baked goods online. This still is an untapped market in the region and is
expected to create
huge revolution in the future, thus, aiding the Indian bakery market further.
The Indian bakery market stood at a value of approximately USD 10.1 billion in 2022. The market is
further
estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% between 2023 and 2028 to reach a value of USD 17.44 billion by
