Bakery Industry

The bakery industry has grown enormously in popularity in recent years. This is due to the emergence of the female workforce, fluctuating eating habits, and trends in food consumption. Baked goods are also becoming increasingly popular for their nutritional value, as they don't contain much of the oil and unhealthy fats found between open cooking and frying. The ever-growing presence and ever-growing bakery branches have sparked many innovations in this sector. Consumers have a wide variety of options.

India is the second-largest food producer in the world after China. It has the potential to become the largest agri-food sector in the world. Consequently, the challenges and trends in the bakery industry are great.

Baked goods made from bread and biscuits account for over 82% of the total production of baked goods in the Indian bakery industry.
