Cookies & Crackers

SIC 2052 covers the cookies and crackers makers supplying grocery chains, club stores, c-stores, and foodservice with branded and private-label biscuits, sandwich cookies, better-for-you crackers, and seasonal assortments. Core revenue hinges on flavor innovation, portion formats, and merchandising support, while major inputs—wheat, sugar, vegetable oils, and packaging—drive margin volatility. The sector’s risks include commodity inflation, retailer price pressure, evolving FDA and USDA labeling and allergen rules, FSMA compliance costs, and reputational exposure from recalls or marketing claims. In 2024-2025, trends center on high-protein and reduced-sugar SKUs, clean-label and non-GMO certifications, recyclable or compostable packaging, and e-commerce/direct-to-consumer bundles supported by automation and AI-driven demand planning; consolidation continues as private-label growth accelerates.
