Among the several product categories in the worldwide market for bakeries bread, cakes and pastries, biscuits and cookies, and other bakery items: bread remains the market leader.

The traditional segment is still in leadership position by virtue of market share.

These items are widely available in supermarkets, convenience stores, and neighbourhood bakeries, which makes them readily accessible and affordable to most consumers.
Traditional bakery products have well-established supply chains and manufacturing systems that allow manufacturers to manufacture them at scale, with repetitive quality and pricing. Although there is a growing trend for specialty bakery products such as gluten-free, organic, and allergen-free items, particularly in health-conscious and city markets, these still account for a smaller share of the market. Specialty products often have higher costs of production and premium prices, which may restrict their accessibility, especially in price-sensitive markets.
The specialty segment is expanding more rapidly due to increasing awareness regarding health, dietary restrictions, and changing consumption patterns. However, from volume and revenue perspectives, traditional bakery items still constitute the core of the market. Their strong position in daily diets and the foodservice sector provides additional strength to their leading position in the array of bakery products.
