Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Increasing health awareness and wellness trends:

Due to consumers' growing knowledge on the health risks of bad diets, such as processed foods with lots of sugar, trans fats, and artificial ingredients, there is now a pressing demand for snacks that will actually nourish the body. They are now on the lookout for products that claim to be all-natural and whole, and contain lots of fiber, protein, or vitamins. Apart from this, it has been said that the increasing number of cases of lifestyle diseases like diabetes, heart diseases, and being overweight has also put consumers thinking of changing their favorite snack. Most of them prefer what they call ‘healthy snacking’, which is not contrary to their health purposes, whether statistical or personal, such as weight reduction or improvement of heart health or controllable blood sugar levels. The trend is stronger among younger segments because they consider healthy eating as an essential part of their daily lives and would not mind forking out a larger amount on products that fit this category.

• Convenience and on-the-go consumption:

People are continuously moving from one place to another and require snacks that they probably do not have to eat literally, but healthy and nutritious snacks from protein bars to trail mixes to yogurt or fruit-based snacks would normally be able to deliver a premium quality of energy instantly within this lifestyle. Also, innovation in packaging has played an important role in the portability and usability preferences of consumers. Single serving packs and resealable containers prove to be perfect for grabbing a quick snack, whether between meetings, while traveling, or after exercise. In fact, health-conscious consumers are not only looking for speed mediocre snacks but also for notable nutritional offerings that meet both needs, thereby pushing the players to innovate and introduce products that fulfill both ends.

• Growing demand for organic and plant-based products:

People have become increasingly aware of the environmental impacts of the food in their diet. Most of them are now considering organic and plant-based food products, which are presumed to be healthier and more sustainable. More and more snack formulations contain plant-based ingredients such as lentils, chickpeas, and nuts, to appeal to a rapidly growing proportion of consumers now taking up vegan or flexitarian diets. There have also been subsequent developments in organic snacking, which is free from artificial chemicals, preservatives, or GMOs, as people want to have an ideal clear label of natural and moral consumption. Additionally, most plant-based snacks provide more fiber, fewer trans-fats, and present a guilt-free pampering opportunity for consumers.
