Bread & Bakery Goods Production in Germany Industry Data and Analysis
Baked goods manufacturers have recognised the changing eating habits of consumers with regard to dietary trends and eating out and have successfully addressed them by expanding their product range to include healthier baked goods and numerous snack offerings. Nevertheless, the industry's total sales only grew by an average of 0.6% per year in the period from 2020 to 2025. In 2020 and 2021, the pandemic-related contact restrictions and temporary closures of cafés and other catering establishments had a negative impact on the turnover of artisan bakeries. Although industrial bakeries were able to benefit from the increased demand for products for baking in the food retail sector, their sales volumes to customers in the catering sector also fell significantly. Both the normalisation of consumer behaviour and the increase in product prices due to higher raw material costs led to a significant rise in industry sales in 2022. Since 2023, however, high inflation has had a negative impact on sales volumes of baked goods, especially cakes and gateaux. In the current year, the turnover of baked goods manufacturers is also likely to fall by 0.1% to 26.5 billion euros, as consumers are increasingly turning to cheaper baked goods.
