The growing bakery industry globally

The bakery processing equipment market is primarily driven by the worldwide bakery industry's growth. The increasing consumption of bakery products in several developing countries owing to the increasing purchasing power of the people, coupled with the presence of a vast number of small domestic bakers in the developing economies, are some of the major factors bolstering the market growth over the next five years. Furthermore, the growing demand for ready-to-eat products such as bread, puffs, muffins, and others due to the changing hectic lifestyles of people across both developed and underdeveloped economies has also led to an increase in the number of small bakeries operating at a domestic level in many countries, which is also positively influencing the demand for various types of equipment.

Ovens will have a significant market share. According to the type of equipment, ovens are projected to hold a promising market share throughout the next five years. Being the key equipment, ovens serve a wide range of applications in the bakery sector for baking and heating among others. Hence, creating a large market for ovens in the bakery processing equipment market. This segment is projected to witness healthy growth during the forecast period, which can be attributed to the fact that companies are investing in expansion as well as opening new manufacturing facilities. For instance, in February 2019, Bühler Holding AG, a Swiss plant equipment manufacturing company, announced the acquisition of Haas Group and added a new production facility in India. Thus, it represents a high growth potential in the demand for ovens in the next five years.

Over the next five years, the Asia Pacific area is expected to experience strong market expansion. The rising consumption of bakery products in countries such as China, India, and Indonesia, among others, is one of the primary drivers driving market expansion in the APAC region. Furthermore, the presence of a high number of small bakeries in several countries throughout the region boosts demand for bakery processing equipment. Additionally, throughout the projection period, the rising proclivity of consumers to spend on processed foods enhances the company’s growth potential for manufacturers and suppliers in the Asia Pacific area.

Recent Developments

Z Matik S.r.l. introduced a novel tabletop/bench sheeter in December 2020, which is ideal for bakeries having limited space. The new sheeter can handle Filo dough, short dough, puff pastries, croissants, biscuits, and doughnuts, among other doughs.

Baker Perkins Ltd. devised and developed an autonomous mould stacking and cool cart system for their ServoForm Mini for low-volume confectionery manufacturing in August 2021. The requirement for manpower to retrieve & stack moulds from the machine is eliminated. With the debut of this product, the company will expand its ServoForm Mini line.

AutoCoding Systems Ltd, a prominent developer of label inspection & verification software solutions, was acquired by JBT Corporation, a leading worldwide digital solutions provider to large segments of the food production and air transportation industries, in March 2021.

COVID-19 outbreak

The market growth has been negatively impacted by the recent outbreak since the disruption in the supply chain led to a delay in the order shipments faced by the equipment manufacturers. The non-availability of raw materials and labour further contributed to a slump in manufacturing output as well. On the other hand, the demand is expected to be hampered by the fact that the recent outbreak has further impacted the demand for bakery products in several countries. The temporary closure of bakeries in many parts of the world due to the safety guidelines laid down by the WHO to reduce the impact of the disease has further led to a decline in production across the bakery sector. Consequently, this leads to sluggish market growth.
