Who does not want to be happy? So, we buy cakes! Cakes are an integral part of any celebration. Be it birthdays, anniversaries, graduations or promotions, cakes always make the occasions more special. Cakes have now found place in everyday lives in form of bite-size indulgence food, that we eat more often, celebrations or not.
The global bakery & cereals sector was valued at US $ 597,966.8 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at CAGR of 2.3 % over 2019-2024 to reach US $ 669,253.1 million by 2024 (Source: Globaldata). This growth is driven by rising standard of living and health consciousness among consumers. The cakes market is competitive and is still growing owing to the product variants across packaging formats, flavors, and sizes.
Good packaging sells
A visually appealing packaging is a top criterion for consumers, when choosing a crave-worthy bakery item. A rise in the general standard of living of a much greater population has meant more emphasis on the safety & quality of products consumers opt for. Thus consumers are now willing to spend a little more on good quality product. A well-packaged cake, which not only retains the freshness & quality of cakes, but also catches the eyes of consumers with its neat & clean packaging, will definitely go a long way in making the product a success in the market.
