III. Industry Procurement Trends: Three Core Tracks, Precision Matching of Procurement Needs

In 2026, three major demand directions in the baking industry are clearly defined with distinct upgrade trends, offering clear procurement directions and market opportunities for professional visits worldwide. On the equipment front, intelligence, automation, and cost reduction with efficiency improvement are core needs, covering the entire chain upgrade from production to retail stores. In the packaging field, an integrated procurement of materials, design, and solutions is emerging, with green and eco-friendly becoming an important trend. The ingredients market is moving towards higher quality, functionality, and localization, with health-oriented and specialty ingredients growing synchronously. Innovative demands such as R&D, pre-made bakery, and scenario-based services are rising rapidly, becoming new growth for product upgrades and channel expansion.

Equipment Intelligence and Automation: Core Need, Full-Chain Upgrade
Equipment ranks first with an extremely high demand rate of 87.3%, making it a core procurement category across the industry. Ovens and heating equipment, molds and tools (49.2%), and store design-related equipment (36.0%) also maintain high attention, reflecting the full-chain equipment upgrade demand from front-end production to end-retail stores. Emerging markets focus on procuring "cost-reducing and efficiency-improving automation equipment", while mature markets lean towards high-end equipment featuring digital management, intelligent temperature control, and energy-saving and consumption-reducing functions, catering to the upgrade needs of buyers of different scales.

Packaging Full-Chain Upgrade: Integrated Demand Surge, Accelerated Green Transformation
Packaging ranks second with a demand rate of 70.7%, with four segments showing synergistic growth. Demand rates for packaging materials (51.5%), packaging equipment (43.3%), packaging design (41.6%), and packaging solutions (39.7%) all exceed 39%, forming a complete procurement chain of "materials – equipment – design – solutions". Visitors from Europe, the Americas, and China’s Taiwan Region have a demand rate as high as 62% for eco-friendly and biodegradable packaging materials. Integrated packaging solutions that combine aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability have become key to brand differentiation, making them suitable for buyers pursuing brand upgrades and green transformation.

Ingredient Quality and Functional Upgrade: Health and Specialty in Parallel, Optimized Demand Structure
Ingredients rank third with a demand rate of 63.8%, showing a dual-track development trend of a stable base and expanding specialty offerings. Chocolate leads specialty ingredients with a demand rate of 34.1%, as market demand for high-quality, functional chocolate rises significantly. Demand for basic ingredients such as cereal flours (32.1%), fillings (27.8%), and dairy products (25.6%) remains steady. R&D receives a demand rate of 33.8%, focusing on functional formulations, clean labels, and healthy production processes, reflecting strong product upgrade aspirations. Sub-categories such as high-gluten specialty flours, natural dairy products, and low-sugar fillings continue to gain clout.
