Cookies are already present in 99.9% of Brazilian households, representing 44.9m households. Brazilians purchase around 700g of Cookies on a typical supermarket trip, which occurs on average 27.8 times per year.

Brazil's Cookies markers are keenly aware that their once vibrant domestic economy is slowing down, which means that exports may hold the key to the cookies industry growth in the near future. Within Brazil the most popular cookies formats among domestic consumers are sandwich cookies, crackers, dry and sweet, cornstarch cookies, salty, wafers, 'rosquinhas'/donut-shaped, cookie and champagne cookies. Another key ingredient for growth is modernization and some of the key players in the local cookies market are hedging their bets on new and innovative products that will better meet consumer demand. For example, PepsiCo Brazil announced this month that Mexico Bakery Center (MBC), PepsiCo’s first innovation center focused on development of cookie products, would help the Brazilian-based company to develop new products for the demanding Brazilian cookie market. Located in Mexico, MBC will create new products that can attend more precisely the specific needs and demands of consumers.

Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic initially caused the temporary shutdown of manufacturing plants and loss of manpower, which reduced the production of cookies. In some countries, the cookie manufacturers were exempted from the lockdown restrictions, but the difficulty in the procurement of raw material due to the least mobility led to a shortage of production. The import and export ban imposed in several countries led to the disruption of the supply chain market. The domestic supply chain disruption caused due to the transportation restrictions and shutdown of distribution channels impacted the sales and revenue of the cookies market. Supermarkets and retail stores faced a shortage of the product due to initial panic buying and later due to the shutdown. The demand for cookies increased, whereas the supply was not able to meet the requirements.
