The increasing consumption of bakery products is anticipated to drive the growth of the bakery processing equipment market. Various types of bakery processing equipment are used to produce different baking products. As consumer preference for bakery items rises, so does the demand for bakery processing equipment. For example, in November 2023, the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), a government department in Canada, reported that the top suppliers of baked goods to the U.K. were France, with exports valued at $548.0 million (15.2% market share) and 157.0 million kilograms, followed by Belgium, which exported goods worth $475.6 million (13.2% market share) and 137.7 million kilograms. In that year, the U.K. was the second-largest global market for baked goods, with imports amounting to $3.6 billion and 1.1 billion kilograms. Thus, the growing consumption of bakery products is fueling the expansion of the bakery processing equipment market.
An increase in lifestyle changes is expected to propel the growth of the bakery processing equipment market going forward. Lifestyle changes refer to alterations or modifications in the way individuals or groups of people live, which can encompass a wide range of aspects in their daily lives. Modern lifestyles are often busy, with little time for extensive food preparation. Bakery processing equipment, such as bread machines and dough mixers, allows individuals to make fresh bread and pastries at home with minimal effort, saving time and offering the convenience of freshly baked goods. For instance, in January 2022, according to a survey report published by Nutrisystem, a US-based provider of weight loss products, among 2,000 participants, 53% of respondents expressed their goal for 2022 as shedding weight, with an average target of 14 pounds of weight loss. Therefore, the increase in lifestyle changes is driving the growth of the bakery processing equipment market.

For example, in October 2023, Rademaker, a Netherlands-based company that specializes in developing and supplying industrial bakery systems, teamed up with Form & Frys, a Denmark-based company known for its folding, forming, and filling equipment. Through this partnership, Rademaker has become the exclusive supplier of Form & Frys equipment in important markets, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, the US, and Canada. These regions were strategically selected due to their considerable growth potential and strong alignment with Rademaker's values and vision, representing a crucial step in its development as a bakery equipment provider for mid- to large-scale manufacturers in both European and North American markets.
Major players in the bakery processing equipment market are actively pursuing innovation by introducing new products, particularly in the realm of eco-friendly packaging solutions, to enhance their market presence and profitability. Eco-friendly packaging solutions are designed to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainability in the packaging industry. A notable example is Syntegon Technology, a Germany-based machinery company, which launched eco-friendly packaging solutions in August 2022. These solutions serve as valuable options for companies aiming to reduce their environmental footprint and meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging.
