Baking Ingredients Market: Strategic Insights

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Baking Ingredients Market

The food & beverages sector faced unexpected challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Various restrictions imposed by governments, such as lockdowns, production shutdowns, travel bans, and border restrictions, disrupted the global supply chains in 2020. This led to a shortage of raw materials and labor, which hampered the production of various small-scale and large-scale food and beverage manufacturers. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was significant demand for bakery products such as cakes, cookies, and pastries from people staying at home, as they perceived these products as a good way to overcome the pandemic-related stress, which boosted the sales of bakery products and baking ingredients. Moreover, after the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, people have become more concerned about their health and immunity. As a result, they are replacing conventional bakery products with functional ones such as organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, and fortified products. This factor is expected to provide profitable growth opportunities to the baking ingredients market for functional products during the forecast period.
