Hectic work schedules are changing the lifestyle and eating habits of consumers, thereby increasing their dependency on convenience foods and packaged food products. Convenience foods, such as packaged brownies, allow consumers to save time and effort associated with ingredient shopping and baking preparations, as well as provide the convenience of storage. The food industry is witnessing a surge in the consumption of high-quality convenience food. According to a recent report by the Food Institute, convenience remains a key driver of prepared food sales, with 72% of consumers citing it as a major factor in their purchasing decisions. This shift toward convenient and packaged food options can be attributed to the busy lifestyles of consumers, who prioritize ease and speed in their daily lives. Growth in sales of prepared foods, such as ready-to-eat and ready-to-heat meals, is due to the expansion of meal kit delivery services, grocery store prepared food sections, and online ordering platforms. The rise of single-person households and the elderly population has also fueled this demand. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for convenience, with 40% of respondents willing to pay more for quick-prepared meals.

The chocolate segment is anticipated to hold a significant packaged brownies market share. Brownies are traditionally made with chocolate as the classic flavor. The chocolate flavor stands out as appealing to consumers who prioritize indulgence and richness in their desserts. This flavor combines the intense taste of cocoa with the added texture and sweetness. Its popularity is driven by its ability to satisfy cravings for descending treats, making it a favorite among chocolate enthusiasts. Chocolate brownies are often marketed as a premium option, catering to casual consumers and those seeking quality bakery-style products in convenient, pre-packaged formats. Furthermore, the availability of this flavor through various offline and online retail channels contributes to its increasing consumption.

Americas accounted for a remarkable share of the packaged brownies market in 2024. Canada is among the largest markets for packaged brownies in Americas. The increasing popularity of packaged brownies and rising demand for convenient snacking and dessert items propel the packaged brownies market growth in Canada. Consumers appreciate the convenience of these packaged brownies, making them a quick and easy dessert option. The per capita consumption of ready-to-eat dessert products is rising in the country. Moreover, the advanced cold supply chain infrastructure plays a pivotal role in supporting the packaged brownies market, ensuring these treats remain fresh and retain their quality from production to consumption.

Based on category, the gluten-free segment is projected to register the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2031. Gluten causes multiple digestive issues, leading to celiac disease, gluten ataxia, and wheat allergy. According to Johns Hopkins University, in 2022, as many as 1 in every 133 US citizens (~1% of the population), or over 2 million citizens, were suffering from celiac disease. In 2020, a pediatric screening study conducted on 10,000 children in Colorado in the US found that 2.4% of the total number of children had an initial positive celiac disease test. The growing health concerns related to gluten are driving the demand for gluten-free products. A gluten-free diet helps ease symptoms of celiac disease and other medical conditions linked with gluten consumption. Gluten-free packaged brownie products are prepared with white rice flour, tapioca starch, soy flour, oats, millets, and other gluten-free flours to replace traditional wheat-based ingredients. Thus, key players are focusing on expanding their product portfolio of gluten-free products to attract a wider consumer base and enhance the long-term prospects of gluten-free foods.

The manufacturers in the region offer a diverse range of brownie products, including classic, fudgy, and cake-style brownies and variations infused with nuts, fruit, and other mix-ins. This wide range of options caters to consumers' varying tastes and preferences, from rich and decadent to healthier and more nutritious. Rising disposable income, surging busy lifestyles, and the growing desire for comfort food are driving the packaged brownie market growth. Consumers are seeking convenient, easy-to-prepare snacks leading to an increased demand for packaged brownie products. Moreover, the improved distribution channels and the high presence of online retailers, supermarkets, and hypermarkets make packaged brownies easily accessible to consumers worldwide. Key players in the market are investing in innovative packaging designs, flavors, and formats to capture a larger market share. Key players in the market are collaborating and partnering with distributors to cater to the growing demand from consumers.
