COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The coronavirus outbreak brought attention to the need for hygienic and shelf-stable packaged goods in disease prevention. The pandemic has resulted in the adoption of various best-practice models for the specialty frozen bakery business. From a storage and distribution standpoint, this industry has had to deal with previously unheard-of levels of demand from producers, sellers, and customers, especially for goods like specialty frozen bakery products. Due to a sudden increase in demand, many bakery businesses have already started to alter their business plans. Customers choose practical, healthy, and hygienic products per changing social distance norms. This process has enhanced consumer appetite for frozen foods as specialty frozen bakery products have begun to appear more often on shop shelves and as consumers stockpile frozen and shelf-stable meals in anticipation of a large outbreak.

Market Dynamics

Since more consumers are choosing specialty frozen bakery products as a healthier alternative to traditional baked goods, the market for these products is expected to rise exponentially in the coming years. An extremely dynamic market environment for bakery products has resulted in economic growth in both emerging and mature economies. Manufacturers of specialty bakery products now have a lucrative opportunity to expand as they introduce fortified, gluten-free, organic, low-calorie, and sugar-free products and attract a large customer base. This is due to the rise in consumer health concerns. The number of specialty bakery stores has grown due to these factors.

Drivers

• Rising demand for convenience food products

The fast-food industry has grown due to improvements in food preparation techniques. The growth of the specialty frozen bakery market will be fueled by the rise of quick-service restaurants for people who don't have time to cook meals at home. The increased acceptance of eating on the go goes hand in hand with the rise in the popularity of prepared foods. Ready-to-eat meals will continue to grow in popularity as lifestyles get busier and more stressful, supporting the market forecast. The rise of the business has been aided by the creation of retail channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, and specialized shops.

• Developing retail channels in emerging nations


• Superior properties of specialty frozen baked products

Restraints:

• Shift toward conventional freshly baked products

When buying bakery goods, most customers say that freshness is more essential than price. A sizable portion of the populace avoids ready-to-eat or precooked foods because they believe packaged or frozen food is unhealthy. This group's growing preference for freshly baked goods could become a significant barrier to the market's expansion. To avoid this, businesses must incorporate customer-friendly tactics into their value proposition and make freshness a key component.

• Fluctuating energy costs

Opportunities:

• Adoption of individual quick frozen (IQF) technology to maintain the freshness of specialty frozen bakery products

The invention of a technique known as the individual quick-frozen (IQF) method is largely responsible for creating high-quality frozen bakery items. IQF is a type of freezing that prevents the formation of big ice crystals in food products. Large ice crystals created during traditional freezing can harm cells and crystal fibers, causing the food products to dry out. However, IQF meals generate tiny ice crystals that protect the food's fibers from damage. The specialty frozen bakery market's growth is anticipated to benefit from this technology.

• Spurred the demand for healthy sugar-free, and gluten-free bakery products
