FREMONT, CA: Who doesn't enjoy a lovely and delectable cake? Everyone does! Consumer demand for bakery products will continue to grow in 2022—increased color, diversity, and healthier options. This places a high demand on bakeries that produce a variety of pastries, chocolate, and sweets. It is essential to explore optimizing the manufacturing process to satisfy these needs. Automating the bakery is critical. However, let's first examine the latest bakery trends:
Taste sensations that are out of the ordinary
In the bakery sector, innovation is becoming increasingly crucial. Consumers today are continuously on the lookout for new and intriguing food experiences that are multimodal and surprising. Combining flavors and developing new tastes is critical to meeting customer demand. Baked products are unquestionably a part of this movement, whether it's to escape the mundane or merely to mark a special occasion.
The influence of color
With the world of social media at their fingertips, people are always enticed by the most amazing baked goods online. They've all had their mouths watered by everything from artful chocolate dripping to gorgeous rainbow-colored pastries. The aesthetic attractiveness of a pastry is just as, if not more, significant than its taste. A baked good's intragenic appeal is necessary for a buyer to acquire it. Additionally, the aesthetic appeal affects how flavor is perceived.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
Apart from multimodal and instagrammable meal experiences, consumers care about their health. People are increasingly conscious of their health, even more so now that the covid-19 outbreak continues. As a bakery, it is critical to anticipate consumers' health and well-being concerns. Natural, superfood, gluten-free, paleo, keto, lactose-free, sugar-reduced, and GMO/E number-free are frequently associated with better-for-you delicacies. They contain fewer or healthier ingredients and often feature little nibbles or lower portion sizes.
Food for the Planet
Additionally, the new generation of consumers expects the cake or pastry they consume to benefit the environment and people as possible. Environmental stewardship and a sustainable bread production method are becoming increasingly important to an increasing number of consumers.
Origin and local purchasing
Consumers desire greater transparency about the food they consume—who manufactured it? Where do raw materials originate? What is the story behind my pastry's creation? Numerous buyers gravitate toward locally created goods. People want to support their local economy, but they also prefer locally manufactured goods because they have a shorter shelf life and are viewed as having superior quality.
Bakery automation is critical
As a result of these bakery trends, bakeries will need to produce a variety of items to suit the wants of their customers. This means that their manufacturing process must be capable of handling a wide variety of items. In terms of bakery automation, a high degree of adaptability is required.
