Market Size & Trends

The global bakery processing equipment market size was valued at USD 13.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% from 2023 to 2030. Growing demand for packaged food products, including ready-to-eat food & snack foods, owing to their convenience and shelf life is anticipated to drive the market demand for bakery processing equipment over the forecast period. Changing consumer lifestyles and tastes have compelled food manufacturers to introduce new products. However, these product launches focus on catering to the changing demand for taste, flavor, and nutrients, thus adding to the production complexity. This is anticipated to drive the demand for advanced bakery processing equipment that can handle a wide variety of ingredients and perform several functions across the production line.

U.S. bakery processing equipment market size and growth rate, 2023 - 2030

Bakery manufacturers are increasingly focusing on enhancing their production efficiency owing to the increasing energy and labor costs, coupled with the growing raw material cost of food ingredients. This is expected to drive the demand for advanced automated bakery processing machines that ensure improved efficiency and minimum wastage of food ingredients.

Equipment automation provides an increased throughput rate by minimizing the degree of manual operation required and increasing the flexibility of equipment, which can easily facilitate on-the-fly changes to the product. Automation ensures minimum human intervention, which assists in reducing labor costs. Thus, the demand for automated bakery processing equipment is expected to show a positive trend over the coming years.

This strategic integration significantly lowers raw material and logistics costs and addresses other challenges for bakery companies over a significant time. Furthermore, rising awareness among bakers regarding the operations of upgraded bakery processing machinery owing to an increasing number of bakery schools has augmented the demand for high-quality customized bakery processing equipment.

The market is majorly ruled by various certifications, regulations, and standards enforced by multiple organizations, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the governments of respective countries. New entrants are looking for more significant opportunities in the global market for bakery processing equipment, as growing urbanization and the rising demand for bakery products among the population have benefitted market growth.

On the other hand, the rising energy cost is a major constraint faced by bakeries in running their facilities continuously. Equipment such as ovens, heaters, chillers, and homogenizers used in the bakery processing industry consume comparatively higher power and energy. Automatic equipment is considered more desirable but requires an uninterrupted electric supply for efficient functioning, resulting in higher energy bills.

Bakery processing equipment is extensively utilized in a variety of industries, including bakery and confectionery, due to inherent advantages such as quality control, durability, cleanliness, and preservation. The global market for bakery processing equipment is expected to expand significantly in the coming years due to rising demand for confectionery and baked goods as well as for packaged & convenience food, along with increasing customer desire for healthy and nutritious food items.

The rapid expansion of the food and beverage industry is expected to boost demand for processing equipment. The increasing consumer consumption of frozen meals, bakery goods, and confectionery is likely to boost the growth of the market. Demand for bakery processing equipment is likely to be driven by the rising population, which increases the demand for processed food products. Growing consumer preference for high-quality goods, ongoing product advancements, and strengthened government food regulations are projected to boost bakery processing equipment industry growth.

The increased demand for fast food and packaged food is projected to drive manufacturers to improve their manufacturing capacities, boosting demand for processed food through the projection period. Furthermore, the rising prominence of commercials with appealing promotional content and the availability of a diverse variety of flavors in processed food are expected to boost their popularity, thereby fueling the demand for bakery processing equipment.

Companies such as Conagra, Unilever, and McCain Foods are focusing on increasing their global presence by assuring the availability of packaged food products in both hypermarkets and retail stores. Over the projected period, the aforementioned factors are likely to support the expansion of the bakery processing equipment market. Many emerging economies continue to lack sufficient basic infrastructural amenities such as cold storage facilities, refrigerated transport, and power supply, as well as road and rail connections. To promote the growth of the bakery processing equipment industry in these regions, governments and manufacturers must address these challenges at the earliest.

Equipment Insights

The ovens & proofers segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 34.2% in 2022, on account of the extensive use of these products for baking and the rising demand for baked goods. In addition, the market is expected to be driven by the introduction of low-energy consumption ovens. The molders & sheeters segment is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. Dough sheeters have variable speeds so that different operating rates can be adapted to different dough types. Though prices of dough sheeters are a bit higher as compared to other commercial kitchen equipment, they are expected to witness significant growth in demand over the coming years.

Planetary and spiral-type batch mixers are popularly used in the baking industry on account of their high versatility, as they are capable of whipping, blending, mixing, and stirring a wide range of dough mixtures. In addition, spiral mixers require less resistance on spirals, which helps in controlling the temperature of the dough, ensuring easier kneading and proper rising.

Ovens are the most important processing step in the baking industry, as both heat and transfer phenomena take place simultaneously inside them, triggering biochemical and physiochemical changes in the product. In addition, the equipment forms a crucial kill step that prevents pathogens from blooming within the product. Furthermore, baking in the oven imparts final characteristics, such as color, aroma, texture, flavor, and shelf life, to products.

Application Insights

The bread segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 34.7% in 2022. High demand for bread across North America and Europe due to the dietary habits of regional consumers is a prominent driver of market growth. In addition, the high demand for bread in traditional and rapidly emerging economies, such as India and China, is expected to drive steady market growth over the forecast period.

The pizza crusts segment is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. Three of the biggest American pizza companies have been planning to expand their operations in developing nations, which is expected to drive product demand. For instance, Pizza Hut planned to open 1000 new units in China, followed by Papa John’s and Domino’s (50 units each) in 2019.

Global bakery processing equipment market share and size, 2022

To remain competitive in the market, bakeries across the globe are investing significantly in offering unique flavored products, such as incorporating vegetables such as beetroot, spinach, or carrot in bread. Sieve, baking trays, dough dividers, dough scorers, weighing scales, bread molds, and ovens are some of the machines extensively used in bread preparation.

Measures adopted by food processing companies, such as revisiting sourcing strategies, rationalizing product ranges, and assessing the agility and resilience of supply chains and sales channels, are expected to positively impact market growth. Furthermore, streamlining and optimization of the distribution network and e-commerce channels, along with efficient promotion and pricing strategies, are anticipated to drive the demand for bakery processing equipment in the coming years.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific accounted for the largest revenue share of 38.5% in 2022 and is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. The majority of millennials in the region prefer processed food products and there is a growing middle class with higher purchasing power. Additionally, health awareness is rising, and there are more foreign investors interested in the region, all of which are expected to support the Asia Pacific bakery processing equipment industry growth.
