Phoenix Research Publishes 2026 “Global Cookies Market Outlook – Press Release”
Global Cookies Market to Reach ~USD 156.4 Billion by 2033, Driven by Premiumization, Better-for-You Innovation, and Expanding Snacking Culture
February 2026 | Phoenix Research
The Global Cookies Market is projected to grow from USD 112.8 billion in 2025 to approximately USD 156.4 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of ~4.2% during the forecast period (2026–2033), according to Phoenix Research.
The Global Cookies Market continues to demonstrate steady expansion, supported by strong household penetration, convenient snacking demand, and continuous flavor innovation. Cookies remain a core category within the global bakery and packaged snack ecosystem, evolving beyond traditional sweet biscuits into protein-enriched, gluten-free, sugar-reduced, and functional snack formats.
Growth is driven by urban lifestyles, rising on-the-go consumption, expanding café culture, and increasing demand for premium dessert-style cookies. Premium chocolate inclusions, gourmet butter formulations, filled variants, and limited-edition flavors are supporting higher value realization across both developed and emerging markets.
Europe currently leads the global market, backed by strong bakery heritage, high per-capita biscuit consumption, and established multinational brands. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region, fueled by rapid urbanization, westernized snacking habits, rising disposable incomes, and expanding modern retail infrastructure.
The post-2025 outlook highlights clean-label reformulation, functional ingredient integration, sustainable packaging solutions, and premium artisanal cookie innovation as core competitive accelerators.
Rachna Patni, Analyst – Food & Beverages Industry at Phoenix Research, commented:
“The cookies market is undergoing a strategic transformation from traditional indulgence toward premium, functional, and clean-label innovation. Brands investing in protein-enriched formats, sugar-reduction strategies, and sustainable packaging will secure long-term growth. At the same time, omnichannel distribution and quick-commerce expansion are redefining impulse snacking dynamics globally.”
