Looking ahead, baked goods in India is poised maintain dynamic, although slowing, retail current value growth rates. One area of growth is anticipated to be growing consumer awareness of gut health and digestive wellness.
High protein baked goods to gain mainstream acceptance in the forecast period
While protein-fortified foods were previously limited to niche fitness enthusiasts, high protein bakery products are entering the mainstream Indian diet, and this is expected to continue in the forecast period. Baked goods brands are launching protein-enriched sandwich breads, whey protein-infused biscuits, and legume-based cookies, catering to consumers looking for healthier snacking options.
Regulatory push for cleaner labels and transparency in baked goods ingredients
The FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) is tightening regulations around label transparency for baked goods, particularly regarding trans fats, artificial preservatives, and synthetic flavourings. This has led to a growing emphasis on clean label bakery items with shorter ingredient lists, no artificial additives, and clearer nutritional disclosures.

Baked Goods
This is the aggregation of bread, pastries, dessert mixes, frozen baked goods and cakes. Note: in most cases, baked goods from in-store bakeries are classified under unpackaged/artisanal. While many such offerings may be finished on-site, they are often prepared, then frozen or par-baked, at other locations. Such production models are very important for supermarket in-store bakeries, which are often used to drive traffic and fill stores with appetising aromas, but for which the labour resources required to run a full-service scratch bakery are not always available. Baked goods baked from central bakeries sold unpackaged in other outlets are classified as unpackaged/artisanal. In the specific case of in-store bakery counters (for example, in supermarkets), if baked goods are finished on-site but then packaged (for example, in a box or bag) with a barcode and price, set out in the store for sale in this packaging and sold like any other packaged food product (i.e. a customer takes the packaged item from a shelf) then this is classified as packaged. If however the baked good is finished on-site, displayed unpackaged but then placed in packaging as part of the transaction (i.e. a supermarket worker at an in-store bakery counter/a customer places it in a box/bag after it has been chosen, to allow it to be carried safely) this is still classified as unpackaged.
