Bakery Products

SIC 2050 covers the bakery products industry, where manufacturers produce sliced bread, artisan loaves, tortillas, pastries, donuts, cookies, crackers, frozen dough, and gluten-free or keto-friendly alternatives sold through grocery chains, foodservice distributors, cafés, and quick-serve restaurants. Typical customers range from national retailers and hospitality groups to institutional buyers and increasingly direct-to-consumer subscriptions. Operators face volatile wheat and sugar prices, energy-intensive ovens, strict FDA/USDA food safety rules, allergen labeling, and heightened recall and ESG scrutiny around packaging and emissions. In 2024-2025, the sector is leaning into clean-label formulations, high-protein and low-carb SKUs, automation to offset labor shortages, and local sourcing paired with regenerative grain initiatives; private-label expansion and consolidation remain prominent as interest rates pressure smaller bakeries. E-commerce and data-driven demand planning are reshaping seasonal product launches while co-manufacturing capacity stays tight.
