The confectionery and baked goods industry is growing—while simultaneously facing high pressure to transform. Maintaining competitiveness requires strategic investments. To support this, interpack 2026 is bundling the sector’s technological offerings across three halls covering around 40,000 square meters.
Once again, interpack 2026 offers visitors concentrated areas tailored to their respective sectors. The confectionery and baked goods segment spans Halls 1, 3, and 4, directly at the South Entrance of the Düsseldorf exhibition grounds. Manufacturers will find solutions across the entire value chain—from raw material processing, shaping, and enrobing to primary and secondary packaging. Exhibitors include industry leaders such as Aasted, Sollich, Theegarten-Pactec, SACMI Packaging & Chocolate, Bühler, and Coperion. This ensures that the technological core of the industry is represented on-site. This showcase is further complemented by the world’s largest selection of packaging materials and supplies in Halls 7 to 10.
Stable industry environment with clear growth momentum
Despite numerous challenges, the outlook remains positive. The global market for baked goods stood at 177 million metric tons in 2024, with growth of 9.6 percent expected by 2029. Markets in the Middle East and Africa are developing with particular dynamism. The global confectionery market is also projected to grow by 4.5 percent by 2029. Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa are showing double-digit growth rates, while North America is experiencing a slight decline (Source: Euromonitor International / VDMA). While the overall market environment remains stable, sales regions, cost structures, and regulatory frameworks are shifting.
