Pastries, Pies, and Handheld Snacks: A Guide to Product Development

Pastries, Pies, and Handheld Snacks
Consumer demand for pastries, pies, and handheld snacks has seen significant growth, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% between 2019 and 2029. The appeal of convenience and indulgence largely fuels this demand. However, consumers are increasingly seeking products that balance taste with nutrition, driving the rise of keto-friendly, low-sugar, and clean-label products.

As a baker, catering to this shift means exploring product formulations that address both indulgence and health consciousness. Innovation in snack categories, including granola bars, breakfast bars, and nutrient-dense snack pockets, offers a chance to meet these evolving consumer needs.
