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.
