(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Dublin, Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cake Mix Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025-2034" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

The Global Cake Mix Market was valued at USD 2.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% to reach USD 3.6 billion by 2034. Over the past decade, the market has experienced a consistent upward trend, driven by shifts in consumer behavior favoring quick and easy meal preparation.

The rise of social media and renewed interest in at-home activities during the COVID-19 pandemic contributed significantly to home baking resurgence. While leading brands long dominated by simplifying baking for busy households, modern consumers are now seeking cleaner labels and better-for-you alternatives. The growing popularity of gluten-free, vegan, organic, and allergen-conscious options is reshaping product portfolios.

Recent innovations and the growing influence of health and wellness trends have prompted brands to launch new formulations that align with consumer demands. There's also growing enthusiasm for creative flavor infusions using natural ingredients, reflecting a shift toward adventurous and artisanal preferences. As digital platforms make products more accessible, online retail has become a vital sales channel, allowing brands to reach global markets and support their growth with increasing ease.

The boxes and cartons segment held a 34.3% share and generated USD 710.3 million in 2024. Packaging preferences in the cake mix industry continue to evolve as consumers seek eco-conscious, practical, and visually appealing solutions. Traditional box and carton formats remain popular due to their durability, shelf appeal, and space for impactful branding and nutritional labeling. However, flexible packaging is gaining momentum because of its lightweight design, resealability, and convenience, especially for consumers seeking quick and accessible baking solutions. These modern alternatives are also becoming increasingly aligned with sustainability initiatives, incorporating user-friendly, environmentally conscious materials that appeal to today's shoppers' values.

In terms of distribution, the supermarkets and hypermarkets segment accounted for a 34.7% share in 2024, reaching a value of USD 802.1 million. As the primary retail touchpoints, these stores offer wide ranges and trusted availability in a convenient format for everyday shopping. Their dominance is largely attributed to their role in aggregating product diversity and brand variety under one roof. Simultaneously, convenience stores are rising in importance due to their proximity, flexible hours, and appeal to last-minute or on-the-go baking needs. This diversification in retail strategy is helping cake mix brands extend their reach and meet varied shopper preferences more effectively.

North America Cake Mix Market held a 34.5% share in 2024. This region has seen a shift in consumer expectations, with shoppers increasingly embracing health-centric and time-saving baking solutions. The market is well established, but growth continues through introducing diet-specific options and cleaner-label formulations. Busy lifestyles have prompted the development of resealable, eco-friendly packaging formats, making products more accessible and practical for everyday use. In addition, evolving cultural and economic factors continue to shape regional preferences, with consumers seeking unique flavors and more transparent sourcing of ingredients.

Many are also investing in environmentally responsible packaging, including recyclable or biodegradable formats, to align with eco-conscious values. Strategic expansions through e-commerce platforms are allowing brands to enhance global visibility and reach niche consumer segments.
