The Bread and Bakery Goods Production industry has faced fluctuations over the past few years due to evolving consumer tastes, shifting incomes and volatile prices. Over the five years through 2024-25, the industry's revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 3.2%. The market has been swelled by the growing price of bread and other baked goods as manufacturers have endured mounting ingredient, energy and overhead costs. This meant that revenue was driven up even as incomes dropped and more consumers traded down to cheaper bakery products. Bread's status as a staple food has insulated it from the economic downturn, maintaining steady demand. The shift to remote work dampened demand from high-street bakeries, which once relied heavily on commuter traffic. The dual impact of the cost-of-living crisis saw smaller bakery producers struggling with higher costs and lower sales, with some even closing down. Still, despite rising prices and shrinking incomes, bread continues to generate reliable revenue as households consider it essential. In 2024-25, industry revenue is projected to grow by 1.2% to £10.5 billion as inflationary pressures ease and consumer spending patterns normalise. Over the five-year period through 2029-30, industry revenue is forecast to rise at a compound annual rate of 3.3% to £12.4 billion. Higher consumer spending on luxurious bakery goods is anticipated as the economic situation improves and inflation reduces. However, growth prospects remain tempered by increasing health consciousness. As more individuals become mindful of their calorie consumption, there’s likely to be a decline in the sales of fatty and unhealthy products like pastries, cakes and certain breads. The mandatory introduction of calorie count declarations on these goods may further accelerate this trend by encouraging healthier food choices.
