The Bread Industry in Australia
Here are some quick facts about the bread industry and bread companies in Australia (IBISWorld):
- The market size, measured by revenue, is $3bn in 2022

products.
There aren’t that many large scale bread manufacturers in Australia. The majority of the market is made up of local bakers and chains of well known bakery brands.
As there aren’t that many large scale bread companies, it means that choosing the right supplier should be easier as those who are in the market are working hard for your business.
How do you choose the right bread company as your supplier?
Bread products are being sold to food-service companies in ever growing quantities. One of the reasons for this is that these products often save you time, money and effort, and are ‘done for you’ solutions.
Caterers, hotels, restaurants and cafes use products, such as freshly baked breads, premium breads, muffins, frozen dough (such as from Suprima’s dough range) and breadcrumbs.
When looking for the right bread company, here are several points to consider:
- How long has the bread company been in business for?
- Will partnering with a wholesale bread company save you time and money? If so, how do you calculate your cost savings?
- What range of products do they sell and will this compliment or enhance your current menu offering?
- What is their minimum order quantity and how many units come per carton?
- How reliable is their customer service and support?
- Does the bread company keep up with the latest trends, such as artisanal breads, multigrain and healthier seed options and sourdough?
You’ll be pleased to know that Suprima Bakeries tick these boxes and more.
