Bakery & Confectionery
Expenditure on bakery and confectionery reached £13.3bn in 2007
Once, biscuits, cakes and confectionery were the UK’s main indulgence and snack products, but this is changing with an increasing amount of competition coming from other food sectors.
However, despite a somewhat flat outlook these markets remain important to most UK households and it is highly unlikely that we will see any sharp declines in the future. Also, the markets themselves are highly flexible in terms of varying types and quality of product, making them adaptable to changing economics and consumer needs.
