This pandemic is expected to impact most countries with worst recessions and in terms of per capita income since 1870. If the situation persists for a longer duration there would be prolonged disruption in economy leading to deeper recessions.

2. Highly competitive and segmented market may impact business: This industry remains highly fragmented because majority of them are small to medium bakeries wherein Panera Bread has good market share in US and Canada. This factor on other hand also brings in the competition based on quality, price and nutritional value. In US, there are numerous regional small players who have started retail bakery outlets and cafes. This has happened because raw materials are easily available for this industry and cost of setting up a local work area or cafe is less and market or consumer is readily available at low marketing and advertising cost. However the deciding factor for the consumers is price. Consumers are can pay more for a brand like Panera Bread but small and medium baking companies are not able to compete the higher-quality and price.
