Description

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry make fresh and frozen bread as well as cakes, pies, and doughnuts. Major companies include Dawn Foods, Flowers Foods, Franz Bakery, and McKee Foods (all based in the US), along with Allied Bakeries (UK), ARYZTA (Switzerland), Grupo Bimbo (Mexico), Weston Foods (Canada), and Yamazaki Baking (Japan).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Demand is driven by consumer preferences and by the extent to which grocery stores choose to operate their own bakeries rather than buy from commercial bakeries. Profitability for individual companies is determined by efficiency of operations. Large companies have scale advantages in procurement, production, and distribution. Small companies can compete by offering specialty goods or superior local distribution services.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Major products include breads and rolls, which account for about 55% of industry revenue. Frozen cakes, pies, and other pastries account for about 15%, while other sweet goods and soft cakes account for 10% each.
