세계의 머핀 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형, 맛, 포장, 유통 채널 및 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Muffins Market is accounted for $11.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $16.69 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Muffins are small, individual-sized baked goods that can be either sweet or savoury. Made from a batter of flour, eggs, sugar, and a leavening agent like baking powder, they are typically baked in a muffin tin with paper liners. Sweet muffins often contain fruits, chocolate chips, or nuts, while savoury versions may include ingredients like cheese, vegetables, or herbs. Muffins are a popular breakfast or snack item, known for their soft, moist texture and convenient, portable form.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for convenient snacks

Muffins, known for their versatility and wide flavour variety, cater to this need by offering a quick, satisfying snack or breakfast choice. The trend toward on-the-go eating, driven by hectic work schedules and travel, has further boosted their popularity. Additionally, the growing availability of healthier and indulgent muffin variants, including low-sugar and gluten-free options, expands their appeal to health-conscious and diverse consumer segments, thereby fostering the growth of the market.

Restraint:

Health concerns over sugar and fat content

Health concerns over sugar and fat content causes negative effects of excessive sugar and unhealthy fats on health, including obesity and diabetes, has shifted preferences toward low-sugar and low-fat options. This trend leads to decreased demand for traditional muffins, which are often high in sugar and calories. As a result, manufacturers face pressure to reformulate products to meet healthier standards, which can complicate production processes and affect profitability, thereby hindering the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Expansion of product lines

Introducing new varieties, such as gluten-free, vegan, or low-sugar muffins, attracts health-conscious consumers, broadening the market base. Additionally, corporating innovative flavors and ingredients, like exotic fruits, nuts, and spices, appeals to adventurous eaters seeking unique options. Seasonal or limited-edition offerings create excitement and drive repeat purchases. This product diversification helps brands differentiate themselves, retain customer interest, and increase market share in an increasingly competitive food industry, hereby fuelling the growth of the market.

Threat:

Changing consumer preferences

The rise of dietary trends, such as gluten-free, vegan, and low-sugar diets, has led to a decline in demand for conventional muffins, which are often high in sugar and fat. Additionally, consumers are gravitating toward homemade and artisanal products, diminishing interest in mass-produced muffins from bakeries. This shift necessitates adaptations in product offerings, requiring manufacturers to innovate and create healthier alternatives to meet evolving consumer expectations, further hampering the growth of the market.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the muffins market due to disruptions in supply chains, reduced bakery operations, and temporary closures of cafes and restaurants. Lockdowns led to a decline in out-of-home consumption, while changes in consumer preferences toward healthier options affected demand for traditional muffins. However, the market saw a rise in home baking trends and online sales of baked goods, partially offsetting the decline. As restrictions eased, the market gradually recovered, driven by increasing consumer demand for convenient, ready-to-eat snacks.

The sweet muffins segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Additionally, sweet muffins are increasingly featured in cafes, bakeries, and grocery stores, enhancing their visibility and accessibility, further driving growth in the overall muffins market.

The supermarkets segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

By offering a diverse range of muffin varieties, including gluten-free, low-sugar, and indulgent flavors, supermarkets cater to various consumer preferences and dietary needs. Additionally, the convenience of one-stop shopping allows customers to easily incorporate muffins into their grocery purchases. The growing trend of pre-packaged, ready-to-eat muffins also aligns with busy lifestyles, further boosting demand within the supermarket segment.

During the projected timeframe, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share due to the rising urbanization, changing lifestyles, and increasing disposable incomes. Consumers are increasingly seeking convenient and on-the-go snack options, leading to a surge in demand for various muffin flavors, including sweet and savoury varieties.
