The market for cookie mixes is experiencing steady growth, propelled by their growing popularity as a convenient and time-saving option among consumers who wish to bake cookies without the need for gathering all ingredients individually. Moreover, cookie mixes are simple to use, requiring minimal baking equipment and skills. Additionally, they also provide several customizing options, such as adding chocolate chips, almonds, or other ingredients. Besides this, cookie mixes are utilized for holidays and special events and sometimes even as gifts during New Year, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. For example, Mondelēz International, Inc. has declared the acquisition of Chipita Global S.A., a leading company in the baked snacks category in the Central and Eastern European region.
Additionally, Kellogg Company announced the new cookie packaging. It has switched the outer packaging to a sustainable folding box solution of MMK's Accurate from foil.
Increasing Demand for Gluten-Free Variants
The market is growing on account of the rising health and wellness trends and the elevating demand for gluten-free options. In addition, the market is expanding favorably due to the rising demand for cookie mixes made with healthier grains and less sugar. Moreover, the development of allergen-free variants, owing to the high prevalence of gluten intolerance and food allergies, is further stimulating the cookie mixes market globally. For example, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued new labeling standards for gluten-free claims on items. Additionally, the company GoodSam Foods has announced the release of a line of gluten-free baking mixes made with organic cocoa powder, allulose, and almond flour, imported from Colombia.
Increasing Number of Distribution Channels
The increasing number of e-commerce and distribution channels have made it easier for customers to buy cookie mixes directly from manufacturers or specialty retailers, which is catalyzing the market growth. Furthermore, the global market is being stimulated by the notable growth of supermarkets and hypermarkets in various countries, which may be attributed to the increasing levels of urbanization and infrastructure development. Moreover, the growing popularity of online shopping apps for purchasing cookie mixes, on account of the proliferation of smartphones and access to high-speed internet, is positively influencing the market growth. For example, Wm Morrison Supermarkets plc, one of the leading supermarkets in the U.K., announced that it would hire thousands of more permanent staff as the company expands its online delivery service. Additionally, SalDoce Fine Foods has launched its products on eBay and Amazon Australia through its brand YesYouCan to assist customers in ordering gluten-free baking mixes at their convenience. Bulk-sized products of 5kg are also available on these websites.
The market is also being driven by increasing investments and capacity expansions:

Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start a cookie mixes manufacturing business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Cookie mixes manufacturing requires raw materials such as flour (like wheat or all-purpose), sugar, fats (butter or vegetable oil), baking soda or powder, and flavoring agents (like vanilla). Additional common ingredients can include eggs, salt, milk, and mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits.
A cookie mixes factory typically requires mixing machines, blending units, and sifters for combining dry ingredients uniformly. Additional equipment includes weighing scales, packaging machines, sealing units, and labeling systems.
The main steps generally include:
Ingredient selection and quality verification
Dry ingredient weighing and blending
Addition of flavorings and stabilizers
Homogeneous mixing for uniform composition
Moisture content testing and adjustment
Packaging in moisture-proof containers
Labeling, sealing, and batch coding
Storage and distribution
Usually, the timeline can range from 12 to 24 months to start a cookie mixes manufacturing plant, depending on factors like site development, machinery installation, environmental clearances, safety measures, and trial runs.
