Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
This overview of the consumer and market dynamics of the Australian Bakery and Cereals sector allows new
entrants and established players to gain rapid and comprehensive insight into the current state of the market
and identify the key trends that will drive growth in the coming years.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Public awareness of healthy diets and nutrition has increased, driven by government and private initiatives.
This is clearly visible in the changes in market share expected within the Bakery and Cereals sector between
2007 and 2017, with categories such as Breakfast Cereals and Bread and Rolls beating categories such as
Cookies (Sweet Biscuits) and Morning Goods. Australian dollar versus the US dollar fell rapidly during the
second half of 2008, and then grew rapidly during 2009. This has caused volatile growth in the Australian
Bakery and Cereals market in US$ terms, even though volumes have grown at a relatively constant rate.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Australia's population is aging, which creates an opportunity for more health-conscious product lines, and is
becoming a more multi-cultural society due to immigration, which is increasing opportunities for ethnic food
products. Price and health are becoming increasingly important for Australian consumers as the Bakery and
Cereals sector evolves to take into account pressures on consumer spending and rising awareness of weight
issues.

Key Market Issues
Woolworths and Coles account for a major share of the Australian Food market and therefore exert significant
influence with suppliers. Being listed in either or both of these retailers is vital for Bakery and Cereal brands
in Australia. IGA and ALDI are other key retailers.
Meals out and takeaway food have increased as a proportion of total household expenditure on food and
beverages between 1998 and 2010, while the shares of expenditure on cereal products (bread, cakes and
cereals) and non-alcoholic beverages (excluding fruit and vegetable juices) have declined.
Bread and Rolls and Breakfast Cereals are among the most valuable categories of the Australian Bakery and
Cereals sector by value. Marketers are exploring new products targeted towards health-conscious consumers.
Morning Goods and Cookies (Sweet Biscuits) are among the mature categories expected to grow steadily over
the forecast period.
Even as rising levels of obesity are a concern for Australian consumers, the desire to treat oneself will help
drive strong growth in the Cakes, Pastries and Sweet Pies category. Meanwhile, an increase in snacking will
help drive growth in the Savory Biscuits category.
Key Highlights
The value of the organic Bakery market is expected to grow as the overall market size increases and prices
become closer to non-organic equivalents.
A concentrated retail landscape has contributed to the high penetration of Private Labels.
Increasing interest in healthy lifestyles and interesting product developments will drive the Breakfast Cereals
category.
The growing consumption of Bakery and Cereals in Australia means demand for almost all pack materials and
types will increase between 2012 and 2017.
Convenience is key in baking in Australia: consumption of Baking Mixes will grow over twice as fast as
Baking Ingredients between 2012 and 2017.
