China and Japan make up 75% of regional sale.

The two markets have consistently made up over three quarters of regional sales over more than a decade. This shows how strongly the region relies on these two markets and will continue to do so over the forecast period. Brands active in China and Japan will climb the regional rankings and have greater market potential than other markets from a category perspective. That said, the competitive environment is very challenging as long-standing local players have widespread distribution networks in place, something new players find it difficult to replicate.

Youngsters keen to experiment with Western-style bakery products

Despite the slowdown in the Chinese market, baked goods saw the strongest CAGR over 2011-2016 across the entire region. This is partly driven by rising consumption by the younger generation eager to try baked goods as part of their daily meals over other staples such as rice and noodles.

Cakes and pastries serve as an easy meal and snack solution for time-strapped consumer.

The urban population in Asia Pacific is expected to accelerate rapidly to represent 53% of total population by 2030, up from just 43% in 2010. Urban consumers tend to lead busier lifestyles and have a greater need for convenient practical foods such as cakes and pastries. That said, in some Asian markets, mainly first-tier cities, consumers associate cakes and pastries with high sugar and fat content which could hamper growth if consumers decide to avoid baked goods in favour of healthier alternatives such as milk drinks or yoghurts.

Retail structures are changing towards modern grocery retailing, including in-store bakeries

Across many markets in Asia Pacific, such as China, Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia, supermarkets are experimenting with in-store concessions selling fresh baked goods. This trend has been around for years in Western markets and shows the region is transforming to be more in line with the West, indicative of trends lying ahead.
