Potential impact on cookie sales

While no data is available on how this election may affect ingredient sales, the results could impact the seasonal packaged cookie market. According to Packaged Facts' U.S. Food Market Outlook 2019, retail dollar sales of all packaged cookies totaled $11 billion in 2018 and increased at a compound annual growth rate of 2% between 2013 and 2018, though there is no breakdown available by type of cookie.

"	Packaged Facts’ research reveals that taste is the biggest driver of choice, and consumers continue to seek out products that offer new exciting tastes and experiences.
