In Bangladesh, biscuits are often consumed as a snack. The evening tea and conversation with friends and family has always been great.
And so, Bangladesh’s biscuit sector has steadily grown over the years. The local biscuit sector is currently worth between Tk 5,000 crore and Tk 6,000 crore, and it is expanding at a rate of 15% per year. Although well-known businesses have a strong presence on the market. Many local bakeries provide a substantial number of biscuits to the industry, alongside the major manufacturers. But we have chosen 10 Bangladeshi biscuit and bread firms that provide both domestic and international markets.
01.Olympic Industries Limited
The largest producer, seller, and marketer of biscuits in Bangladesh at the moment is Olympic Industries. It kept up the excellence from 1979 and grew to be very well-known. It still has a legacy. Because clients have high expectations of Olympic, they have been putting a lot of emphasis on ensuring their satisfaction. They have a lot of loyal customers as a result of this. Furthermore, they constantly introduce new product lines.
Olympic cookies such Energy Plus, Tip, Choco Marie, Nutty, Marie Gold, Coconut, Milk Marie, Pineapple, etc. are among the most often consumed. Olympic does produce confectionery, candy, and other snack foods, though. They offer a bakery line, three candy lines, and a total of seven biscuit product lines.
Olympic Industries has a market share of about 30% in the industrialized and organized biscuit market, according to a report from EBL. In FY18, total revenue reached $154.4 mn, with net margins falling from the previous year primarily as a result of a change in accounting policy and a corporate reorganization of the sales and marketing departments. This caused selling expenses to rise by $2.03 mn in order to achieve better performance over the long term.
From 2012 to 2016, Olympic Industries’ net profit margin increased by 13.72% CAGR, and its gross profit margin increased by 7% CAGR. This growth was mostly the result of aggressive efforts to increase production efficiency and take advantage of economies of scale. The company has been working to vertically integrate its supply chain to overcome the obstacles to reaching full automation in order to sustain these profit margins while growing and introducing new product lines.
