However, this optimism is tempered by significant challenges. The volatility in raw material prices, such as sugar and flour, remains a considerable hurdle for producers. Moreover, the market's competitive nature requires brands to constantly innovate and differentiate their products to maintain consumer interest. Navigating regulatory landscapes and ensuring compliance with food safety standards also pose potential obstacles that brands must manage effectively.
