Global Pastries Market (2021 to 2026) - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact and Forecasts

Dublin, Sept. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Pastries Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global pastries market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.44% during the forecast period, 2021-2026.

As an impact of COVID-19, the sales of pastries witnessed greater sales including frozen as well as fresh products owing to the surge in the demand for convenience food. However, the artisanal pastries observed a decline in sales due to limited consumer expenditure on non-essential food products together with a limited production of artisanal pastries, attributed to the social distancing and lockdown measures imposed by the government of various countries around the globe.

The growing popularity of customizable pastries and the increasing innovation in the products is expected to drive the market's growth during the forecast period.

The use of speciality ingredients, like whole-grain bread, concentrates, and sweet goods mixes in pastries, have seen major developments, as a part of overall demand for healthy ingredients, indulgence without calories, and high demand for on-the-go food products. Sweet indulgences, like cupcakes and slice cakes are purchased based on appearance, texture, mouthfeel, and other subjective attributes, and the focus on healthy ingredients is given second priority.

Key Market Trends

Globally, consumers are turning to bakery products that offer functional benefits and suit the specific dietary needs of consumers, such as gluten-free, kosher, organic, and natural ingredients and use of flour, such as rice flour and chia flour, other than wheat flour. Also, consumers are looking for food products that deliver them instant nutrition, and are willing to pay more for such products, thereby, allowing a substantial amount of innovation in the respective product category. Hence, the rising demand for freshly baked pastries can be considered as an opportunity in this market, along with an increase in online sales and new product launches.

Increasing Consumption of Pastries in Middle-East

China is set to become one of the largest baked goods market globally by 2022, with pastries being one of the most popular segment. Owing to this factor, the Asia-Pacific pastry market is expected to witness a potential increase in sales growth during the forecast period.
