Earlier Report Observations

The market for prepared baking powders in Portugal began the period supported by established national suppliers and the entry of new entrepreneurs into the personalized cake segment, such as Daju Cakes in 2019. However, by 2020, market volume had declined to 3 769 tonnes from 4 055 tonnes in 2019, a period coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic which accelerated a shift toward online orders and home delivery for bakery products.

In the following years, the strengthening of online sales and growth in cake personalization supported digital channels, but the market for baking powders continued to contract, falling to 2 376 tonnes in 2023. This decline was partly linked to the increased availability of ready-made and semi-finished baking products, which reduced the need for separate leavening agents, alongside the influence of global artisanal baking trends.

By 2024, market volume fell sharply to 1 137 tonnes, while imports remained stable at around 559 tonnes. In value terms, the market size decreased to USD 3.7 million in 2024 from USD 7.1 million in the previous year.
