In Ireland, the per capita consumption of bread showed fluctuations from 2013 to 2023. After a dip to 70.01 kg per capita in 2020, a recovery trend is observed, reaching 77.31 kg in 2023. This indicates a modest recovery from pandemic-related impacts. The year-on-year growth from 2022 to 2023 is evident.
From 2019-2023, a stabilizing trend emerges following volatility during disruptions, but the category averages a decline over the decade. The five-year CAGR reveals an overall increase in bread consumption, reflecting changes in consumer behavior post-pandemic.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts towards healthier bread options, impacts of sustainability on consumer preference, and economic variations that affect food purchasing power in Ireland.
