Bakery products are primarily prepared by using dry heat in an oven, hot stones, or ashes. Some of the common materials used in the baking process include flour, water, yeast, eggs, milk, sugar, salt, emulsifiers, flavorings, preservatives, etc. The choice of these ingredients and their compositions determine the texture and flavor of bakery products. These products widely include bread, bagels, rolls, doughnuts, cakes, pies, cookies, muffins, etc. In the GCC region, the growing demand for convenience food products is currently driving the market for bakery items.
The expanding food processing sector coupled with the increasing influence of western food trends is propelling the demand for bakery products in the region. Furthermore, the growing number of foodservice companies and the wide availability of diverse bakery product ranges are also augmenting the market growth. Additionally, a significant rise in the presence of artisanal bakery shops and patisseries offering different varieties of cakes, pastries, tarts, macrons, pies, etc., is further bolstering the product demand. Moreover, the GCC market is also catalyzed by the rising popularity of serving bakery items during social gatherings, corporate parties, special and festive occasions, etc. Apart from this, the growing consumer health consciousness has led to the emergence of numerous innovative product variants, such as gluten-free, vegan, and lactose-free bakery products. Furthermore, the increasing consumer concerns towards the presence of synthetic additives in conventional bakery items are also propelling the demand for organic and clean-label alternatives.
