Automation Driving Bakery Scale-Up
Technological upgrades and automation are becoming key drivers in reshaping the structure of Australia's bakery products market. Businesses are now focusing on improving production capacity, consistency, and safety while reducing manual labor. Automation also enables faster adaptation to changing consumer demands, especially as interest in premium and convenience-focused baked goods continues to rise. Companies integrating data-led systems and smart machinery are finding themselves better positioned to compete in both the food service and retail space. In May 2024, Priestley’s Gourmet Delights launched a new USD 53 Million AI-powered facility in Brisbane, significantly expanding operations. The plant, equipped with mobile autonomous robots and real-time data systems, doubled production capacity. Muffin output increased from 2,900 to 5,400 units per hour, while the packing line now processes 3,600 cakes per hour, up from 2,800. The facility also runs on solar-powered ovens and uses an MES system to streamline production. These changes reflect a larger shift toward automated, data-driven baking systems, allowing PGD to enter the retail sector with a new range of individually packaged desserts. The investment not only improved efficiency but also created new roles, showing how automation and innovation can grow output while supporting the local workforce.
Health Trends Reshaping Ingredient Choices
Consumer interest in functional foods has pushed bakeries to explore more nutritious ingredients. The demand for healthier baked goods has opened new space in the market for products that provide added dietary benefits without sacrificing taste or texture. High-fiber, naturally sourced alternatives are especially in demand as they align with dietary awareness and wellness goals. This shift is encouraging manufacturers to invest in better raw materials that support digestive health and general wellbeing. In April 2024, Allied Pinnacle partnered with design agency Molasses to introduce Wise Wheat, a high-amylose, fiber-rich flour farmed in Australia. The product contains six times more fibre than standard wheat flour, making it suitable for developing functional bakery products with better health appeal. This launch marked a move towards clean-label ingredients that cater to nutrition-conscious consumers. Allied Pinnacle’s initiative targeted growing expectations for bakery items that contribute to balanced diets while maintaining quality and familiarity. By bringing Wise Wheat exclusively to market, the company positioned itself at the intersection of health innovation and bakery tradition. This trend shows how ingredient innovation is becoming central to product development, providing a competitive edge for brands that can align health claims with everyday staples like bread and baked snacks.
