View industry report for Europe

Bakery products are a staple of European cuisines. In recent years, bakeries have grappled with spiralling costs and slowed sales off the back of dipping disposable incomes. According to Eurostat, France recorded a whopping 31.5% surge in bakery production prices between Q4 2021 and Q2 2023. Across the EU, this rate averaged at 26.1%. This surge in costs has eroded profitability and forced bakers to inflate selling prices. Despite the price hikes, bakery revenue has dropped in real terms, at an estimated compound annual rate of 6.9% to €130.6 billion over the five years through 2024, including a projected 5.8% dip in 2024.
