Current worldwide market volume estimates for bread and bakery products is almost 117 million tonnes, rising to 135 million tonnes in 2025. The majority of this is still traditional bread and baked products, however as nutritional education, further focus on personal health and wellbeing (spurred on by the pandemic) and diagnosed food intolerance increases, so does the need for diversification.
Consumer demands for ‘free from’ foods, such as sugar-free, no artificial colours or preservatives and gluten-free foods has meant significant changes for bakers to address these. According to the charity Coeliac UK the global gluten-free food market is worth an estimated £835 million. This includes a growing number of consumers who are not sufferers but who are actively choosing gluten-free for a lifestyle change.
