Starbucks, Bread Talk and other major brands improved their products quality continuously, and also accelerated the product R&D, strengthened promotion efforts, so as to grasp the market share in China’s bread market. As for domestic brands, in addition to Ganso, Holiland and other powerful national brands, Shanghai Christine, Ningbo New Maxime and other local brands developed rapidly, and also expanded to surrounding areas. With the implementation of market access system, the entry threshold of the bakery industry continues to increase. The domestic market has left the vicious competition of “price war” and entered the healthy competition track which takes product quality and R&D as the core. With the increase of consumer income and the enhancement of brand awareness, the bakeries which have no characteristic and excellent product will withdraw from the market gradually.
