U.S. bread-production market to be worth $39 billion by 2018
Changing nutrition trends have adversely affected the U.S. bread-production market in the past five years. Popular diets have left some people with a negative image of bread products, and operators have responded with innovations to attract newly health-conscious consumers. The industry has also faced volatile input costs.
According to reports by FoodBev.com, revenues within the bread-production market fell at an annualized rate 1% to $36.9 billion during the five years to 2013, including a 0.8% increase in 2013.
