There is a strong market demand for bagels across the globe as they provide increased convenience to consumers.

This has led to increased demand for bagels in urban areas across the globe, as consumers with busy lifestyles can grab and eat them on the go. This is highlighted by an urban consumer survey conducted in the US by Circana Inc. that found 60% respondents had on-the-go meals at least thrice in a week.

The global bagel market is witnessing further growth because of the expansion of cafés, quick service restaurants (QSRs), and other foodservice outlets around the world. These outlets contribute to 35-40% of global bagel sales and are supporting market growth by increasing their bagel offerings. Market demand for bagels is also growing as industry players are offering innovative products like flavored and fortified bagels, which are expanding the consumer base.

Although the market faces a considerable challenge in the form of increasing competition from alternative bakery and breakfast items, it is likely to see strong growth in the coming years due to a shift towards premium and healthier offerings, further states the research report, “Global Bagels Market Analysis, 2025.”
