Bakery Goods Production in France industry analysis

The bakery goods industry in France has experienced significant shifts in recent years, driven by fluctuating input prices and evolving consumer preferences. Between 2021 and 2022, a substantial increase in industry revenue was largely fuelled by necessary price hikes in response to soaring costs for core ingredients like flour, sugar and cooking oil. These increases were compounded by high energy expenses, squeezing profit as bakers adjusted their pricing to cushion the financial blow. However, as inflation has eased and market competition intensified, revenue has seen a gradual decline. Overall, industry revenue is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.9% over the five years through 2025, reaching €31 billion, including a 1.7% drop in 2025.

Trends and Insights

  • Bakeries worldwide hit by soaring input prices. The rising costs of wheat, corn, sunflower and barley have caused production costs to spiral.
  • Bread reigns supreme in European diets. The continent's diverse array of regional bread varieties, along with its economic stability, results in consistent high sales and consumption, with countries like Turkey, Serbia, and Bulgaria leading the pack.
  • Level of concentration can vary between country. Food culture has a strong affect on concentration. In countries with a strong culture for bread, like France and Germany, the industry is more fragmented with many small bakeries competing.
