Indian Bakery Market Growth

Baking refers to the process of cooking food by using dry heat in an oven, hot ashes, or hot stones. Baked goods or bakery products include items such as bread, cookies, biscuits, rolls, cakes, cupcakes, pies, tarts, sweet rolls, coffee cakes, doughnuts, and refrigerated bakery products, among others. Baked goods, such as bread, provide many nutrients that are vital for health. Bread and biscuits are some of the popular products, among other baked goods.

The bakery demand is being aided by rising population levels, globalised culinary habits, an emerging middle-class population, and a rising appetite for biscuits, cakes, and bread. The affordability and high nutrient value of baked goods like bread and rusks are also boosting their demand. In addition, the growing availability of healthy bakery products to cater to the health-conscious population, coupled with the expansion of bakery chains, is increasing the Indian bakery market value.

Industry Outlook

According to the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India, the states actively involved in bakery production are Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. Breads and biscuits are experiencing significant growth in India as they become a staple in the diets of rural regions across the country. As fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), both breads and biscuits are consumed daily, driving up sales in the country. Furthermore, the expansion of fast-food chains boosts the demand for breads used in sandwiches, burgers, soups, snacks, and more. Additionally, busy lifestyles, changing eating habits and Western influence contribute to the bakery industry growth in India.

Biscuits are a widely consumed mass product, typically enjoyed as a snack between meals. Despite their popularity in both urban and rural areas, the per capita consumption in the country remains at 2-2.5 kg per year. The rising urbanisation and the increasing variety of biscuits and cookies is significantly driving up the demand for biscuits.

The increasing consumer spending on confectionary and bakery goods by the population of the country is further contributing to bakery industry in India. As per industry reports, in India, the PFCE, a key indicator of consumer spending, grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6% over fiscal years 2012 to 2023, reaching approximately INR 93.4 trillion by the end of fiscal 2023. In fiscal 2021, there was a decline in PFCE by 5.2%, attributed to strict lockdowns, limited discretionary spending, and disruptions in demand-supply dynamics due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PFCE figures showed a consistent upward trend from INR 49 trillion in FY12 to INR 83 trillion in FY20, followed by a sharp drop to INR 78 trillion in FY21. However, the PFCE rebounded significantly to INR 87 trillion in FY22, with a notable Year-over-Year (YoY) growth of 11.3% and continued to rise to INR 93 trillion in FY23 with a 7% YoY growth.

Bakery Industry Statistics in India

The Indian online grocery market is expected to grow from US$ 3.95 billion in FY21 to US$ 26.93 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 33%.
