Biscuit Manufacturing in Australia

Australian biscuit manufacturers have faced a series of challenges in recent years. Higher imports, declining per capita biscuit consumption and dwindling profit margins have forced several biscuit manufacturers to shutter over the past decade. Several notable biscuit companies have gone into administration, while all the industry's major players have changed hands, including industry giant Arnotts Biscuits Limited. As is the case with several other food processing industries, biscuit companies have increasingly outsourced production to countries with low operating costs. This trend has supported industry imports, which will satisfy just under 30% of domestic demand in 2022-23.

The industry comprises companies that manufacture biscuits, including biscuit dough, mainly in factories. Companies that bake biscuits onsite and sell them directly to consumers from the same premises are not included in the industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
