Sweet Biscuit Market Analysis:

  • Major Market Drivers: The increasing demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products among the masses due to hectic lifestyles and busy schedules is driving the market growth. Additionally, the shifting consumer preferences toward healthy snacking options due to the rising lifestyle-related disorders, such as obesity, and the increasing awareness about personal well-being is favoring the sweet biscuit market growth.
  • Key Market Trends: Manufacturers are actively indulging in the production of healthy biscuits in different flavors to enhance the product taste, which, in turn, is propelling the sweet biscuit market demand. Apart from this, the introduction of low-fat, low-carb, organic, and high-fiber biscuits manufactured using organic and natural ingredients is providing an impetus to the market growth. 
  • Competitive Landscape: Some of the prominent sweet biscuit market companies include Bahlsen GmbH & Co. KG, Britannia Industries Limited, Burton’s Biscuit Company (Ferrero SpA), ITC Limited, Kelloggs Company, Mondelez International Inc., Nestlé S.A., Parle Products Private Limited, The Campbell Soup Company, and Yildiz Holding AS., among many others.
  • Geographical Trends: According to the sweet biscuit market dynamics, Asia Pacific dominates the global market. Consumers in the region are increasingly shifting toward convenience foods due to changing lifestyles, particularly in urban areas. The growing trend of snacking between meals and the desire for quick, on-the-go food options are major drivers for sweet biscuit consumption.
  • Challenges and Opportunities: The increasing health concerns and high raw material costs are hampering the market’s growth. However, the rapid expansion of e-commerce platforms presents an opportunity for sweet biscuit manufacturers to reach a broader audience, particularly in regions where retail infrastructure is less developed.
     

Sweet Biscuit Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Convenience Food

The growing convenience food industry is significantly driving the sweet biscuit market growth. For instance, according to IMARC, the global convenience food market size reached US$ 484.6 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 782.7 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.47% during 2024-2032. Sweet biscuits are perfectly suited for this trend, offering pre-packaged, single-serve options that can be easily carried and consumed without the need for preparation, making them an ideal choice for working professionals, students, and commuters. These factors are expected to propel the sweet biscuit market share in the coming years.

Surging E-Commerce Users

The rising number of e-commerce users is significantly driving the growth of the sweet biscuit market. For instance, according to Forbes, by 2029, e-commerce users are estimated to total 501.6 million. User penetration is expected to reach 22.1% in 2024, with a rise to 34.0% by 2029. The ARPU (average revenue per user) is estimated to be INR 14,121. E-commerce platforms allow consumers to shop for sweet biscuits at any time, from anywhere, providing a level of convenience that physical stores are unable to match. As more people turn to online shopping for everyday groceries and snacks, sweet biscuits have become a popular item due to their portability and long shelf life. These factors further positively influence the sweet biscuit market forecast.

Product Innovations

Manufacturers are constantly innovating by introducing new flavors, textures, and formats to cater to evolving consumer tastes. The incorporation of local flavors such as peanut, green tea (matcha), spices, mango, and chocolate has resonated with consumers looking for unique snacking experiences. For instance, in June 2024, Insomnia Cookies launched an international-inspired summer range. The "Summer Abroad Sweets" celebration features a Peanut Miso Ramen Classic cookie, a sweet, salty, and crunchy concoction filled with Japanese-inspired flavors, thereby boosting the sweet biscuit market revenue.
