Baking, referred to as the oldest form of cooking, is used for producing everyday products like bread, cakes, pastries, pies, cookies, and donuts. These products are prepared using various ingredients like grain-based flour, water and leavening agents. They are considered fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and are consumed daily. Owing to their palatability, appearance and easily digestible nature, they are highly preferred for both formal and informal occasions. Nowadays, most traditional baking methods have been replaced by modern machines. This shift has enabled manufacturers to introduce innovative bakery products with different ingredients, flavors, shapes and sizes.

The improving standards of living of people around the world have led to significant changes in their lifestyles and eating habits. As a result, they now prefer low calorie, ready-to-eat food items, such as bakery products. This has further prompted the leading manufacturers to introduce bakery products containing multi-grains or whole wheat with low trans-fat content. This has escalated the demand for bakery items, especially among health-conscious consumers. Besides this, with the growing preference for bakery items and increasing internet penetration, several players in the bakery industry have launched their products on digital retail channels, making it more convenient for consumers to order online. Moreover, market players are spending substantially on research and development (R&D) activities to launch organoleptically improved products in the market.
