COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Vicky Foods leads with Mercadona hot on its heels
Vicky Foods Products maintains a leading position, narrowly, among companies but faces increasing pressure from Mercadona, Spain’s largest retailer, through its Hacendado private label line. Vicky Foods’ flagship brand, Dulcesol, enjoys a strong presence in packaged leavened bread - particularly with popular formats such as burger buns and sliced bread.
Consum sees fastest growth through investment in expansion
Consum S Coop stands out as the most dynamic company in overall baked goods, supported by rapid retail expansion, a growing loyal customer base and an increasingly diverse offering of packaged cakes, pastries and bread. The company’s strategy closely follows market innovations, continuously updating its assortment.

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.
