Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the pastry market volume in Mongolia grew from 25 911 t to 36 211 t. This growth accelerated in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic altered consumer behavior, boosting demand for at-home consumption.

The market volume surged to 49 063 t in 2021 but then fell to 41 725 t in 2022. The decline coincided with global economic disruptions, including rising prices for raw materials and logistics costs, as well as geopolitical tensions affecting international trade.

By 2023, the market stabilized at 41 627 t. During this period, global trends such as the adoption of biodegradable packaging and new flavor profiles emerged, though they did not drive significant volume growth.
