• Grupo Bimbo is the biggest baking company in
the world but it still claims less than a 5% share
of the global baking industry according to its
own estimates. This despite a very acquisitive
few years for the company, including buying
Canada Bread in 2014
Slide 13 Bakery remains fragmented globally
**Market share

No.1 in North America
- 26% value share of bread market in the US
- 32% in Canada
No. 1 in Latin America, e.g.:

- 55% in Chile
- 56% in Colombia
- 85% in Mexico
Also a leader in sweet bakery in
those regions
But elsewhere it’s more ‘patchy’:
• No.1 in Spain/Portugal and also present in the
UK with New York Bakery Co.
• Small presence in China (c1% share)
