CATEGORY INSIGHTS

Our scale, customer partnerships, and culinary credibility support our ability to accelerate product velocity, expand share, and drive outsized growth within the premium dessert segment.

  • SNACKING & PERSONAL INDULGENCE

    The country’s most popular desserts are also top of mind as snacks, with 56% of consumers’ last desserts eaten as snacks.  Retailers can capitalize on this trend by stocking convenient packaging formats of all sizes.

  • PREMIUM DRIVES PROFITS

    Consumers are increasingly willing to pay higher prices for premium products—think high-quality cocoa, fresh cream, and distinctive design. In desserts, premium products are outpacing mainstream by 5X. Having a strong assortment of premium desserts will elevate your bakery offering.

  • CONSUMERS ARE SEEKING REAL FOOD

    A desire for perceived wellness benefits, improved digestion, and a focus on unprocessed foods increasingly drive shoppers to seek both real food and gluten-free options.

  • SEASONAL RELEVANCE & NOSTALGIA

    The nostalgia trend in desserts remains highly relevant, blending emotional appeal with seasonal relevance. Over half of consumers (54%) are interested in seasonal desserts, and this appeal increases for younger households (60% of Millennials).
