OUR APPLICATIONS
Bakery and pastry
Bakery is a broad market that can be split into three main segments: cakes and pastries, biscuits, and croissants. Indulgence and on-the-go are two primary means of characterizing bakery consumption. Croissants, cakes or other pastries are often out-of-home impulse purchases, synonymous with pleasure and gratification. Innovation, marketing claims, and image are big levers that prompt sales and contribute to consumer satisfaction.
Dairy ingredients, especially butter, are highly valuable in the bakery industry. They bring taste, texture, and a nice colour to many products such as biscuits, cakes, and croissants. Strongly associated with a natural image, dairy ingredients also can be used as claims on packaging to better valorise baked goods products.
Market overview
Highly dynamic all over the world, bakery is experiencing growing demand in Asia, the Middle East and South Africa, while Europe and USA remain large and steady mature markets. All regions are profiting from innovation driven by five main trends:
- Naturalness and freshness: fresh butter, fresh milk, fresh eggs, organic, etc.
- Authenticity: ingredients, know-how, historical recipe, origin
- Healthy: whole grain, complete flour, natural flavours
- Originality: crispy texture, creative flavours…
- Convenience: most bakery goods are consumed out-of-home
