Aryzta, the Swiss-Irish frozen bakery market player, has recently unveiled its plan to build a factory in Brazil, which would manufacture frozen products. It has been reported that the plant would be Aryzta’s fifth in the country and it will be investing BRL150m (EUR33.8m) for the bread making facility. Aryzta is further seen strengthening its ties with the local customers including the food-service outlets like Subway, Burger King, and Starbucks, while it is supplying its frozen bakery products to Prezunic and Walmart in the retail sector. If reports are to be believed, these quick serving restaurants – that form an important channel for Aryzta – account for more than 50% of food-service revenue in Brazil.
The aforementioned instance highlights two prominent factors. The first being the expanding investment of the global industry players in LATAM regions for extracting hefty ROI, and the large-scale expansion of the fast food chains such as Subway and Domino’s leading to a greater pickup in demand for bread, frozen dough, and viennoiserie.

The viennoiserie segment has further locked its prominent industry share in terms of revenue, with a valuation exceeding USD700m in 2017.
Speaking of the robust segment growth, Colombia, the third largest country of Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico, is emerging as the lucrative investment ground for the potential stakeholders, given the positive growth of the fast-food industry. An apt instance bearing testimony to the same is of Grupo Bimbo S.A.B. de C.V., who acquired a Colombian frozen baked food company Panettiere in 2016, in an ambitious attempt to expand its participation in the growing in-store & food service bakery channels in the region. Reports claim that leveraging the company’s product line including ciabatta, baguettes, croissant, flautas, hojaldre (puff pastry), sandwich rolls, muffins and blandito (soft bread), Panettiere will be part of the Bimbo’s LATAM frozen bakery business.

In fact, the annual per capita consumption of the processed foods was projected to be more than USD330m in 2016, according to the National Association of Colombian Business, while it is prudent to note that the global packaged food sales, is also witnessing a boost, up from the USD2,348.9bn in 2014 to a steady growth of USD2,516.2bn in 2017.
This growth has furthered the product demand for frozen dough particularly to make burger breads and pizza base, in turn fueling the LATAM frozen bakery industry growth.
