A Bite of Bread, A Trillion Business: The True “Essential” in Life

When the aroma of baguettes wafts from the streets of Paris, when New York breakfast shops slice bagels and spread cream cheese on them, and when Panini at KFC in China attracts hurried diners - these seemingly unrelated scenes actually all point to a trillion-dollar market - bread.

Global Bread Consumption Data

The latest data shows that the global bakery market size exceeded 248.8 billion US dollars in 2024, with bread accounting for 56% and an annual growth rate of 4.4%. There are 4.5 billion people consuming bread worldwide, and more than 30 countries regard it as their staple food. The annual per capita consumption in Europe is 63 kilograms, and in the Asia-Pacific region it is 22 kilograms - this is not a snack, but food, a necessity.

Hundred varieties of bread, countless flavors

And on this super-fast racetrack, the "bread" has long ceased to be "that bread".

Panini
Panini originated in Italy. It is based on the crispy crust and soft interior of the caciotta bread. The filling, which includes ham, cheese and basil, is sandwiched and heated. The exterior is crispy while the interior is rich and flavorful. In China, Panini retains its classic combinations while incorporating "Chinese flavors" such as chicken and pork fillet. The soft and chewy bread is heated and then has a slightly crispy outer layer and a warm interior. This perfectly meets the needs of Chinese people for breakfast and light meals, making it a popular choice of food.

Baguette
The Baguette embodies minimalist aesthetics: its ingredients consist solely of flour, water, salt, and yeast. The outer shell is crispy and golden-brown, while the interior is soft and chewy. Besides being paired with cheese and cold cuts, it is also a classic carrier for spreading butter and jam in a French breakfast.

Bagel
Originating from the Jewish tradition, the bagel is boiled in water and then baked, resulting in a unique texture that is firm and chewy. When sliced horizontally, it is spread with cream cheese, topped with smoked salmon, and garnished with a few slices of capers, thus becoming a symbol of New York's breakfast culture.

Croissant
The Croissant takes the art of folding butter and dough to the extreme, presenting a clear hierarchy and being rich and fragrant. A cup of coffee paired with a Croissant forms the classic breakfast scene for the French; when filled with ham and cheese, it becomes an ideal choice for a quick lunch.
