The U.S. biscuits market is expected to reach USD 28.40 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Product innovation and mergers & acquisitions are two major strategies undertaken by key companies in the U.S. biscuits market. These are among the key factors contributing to market growth as manufacturers are reformulating their products to gain higher margins as well as meet health-orientated consumer demand. For instance, Mondelez’s belVita established a new trend in the adult breakfast biscuit market and gained the title of on-the-go packaging with nutritional credentials. Key players are consistently striving to widen their product portfolio by acquiring players of adjacent market segments. For instance, Turkey’s Yildiz surpassed US cereals maker Kellogg Co. and UK-based Burton’s Biscuits and became the market leader after acquiring United Biscuits in 2014.
Companies have adopted technologically advanced machinery such as robotics to improve their ability to rapidly prototype & launch new brands, introduce automated quality control instrumentation, maintain consistency in the workflow, and develop fully integrated networks to automate baking, packaging, & other operations. Key companies track sales in real-time using a network of handheld wireless devices and centralized enterprise resource planning systems. Companies are increasingly promoting their brands as free of trans fats, saturated fats, and artificial flavors & sweeteners, and promoting ingredients such as organic wheat flour, cane sugar, rice syrup, and corn starch. Thus, inclination toward low sugar and calorie content is motivating biscuit manufacturers to develop nutritious biscuits, thus presenting significant growth opportunities to the market.
