Snacks industry Overview
The global snacks market size was valued at USD 1,450.4 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7% from 2022 to 2030. The pandemic-induced lockdowns coupled with the global adoption of the work-from-home culture have led to the exponential growth of the snack market in the last two years. This trend is expected to sustain during the forecast period, as snack manufacturers are focusing on product innovations such as healthier and organic products. COVID-19 lockdowns prompted an increase in at-home consumption of food products. COVID-19 lockdown implementations and extensions had given snack products a significant role in households all across the globe. Because more people are working from home, the desire for “on-the-go indulgence” has intensified. Over the previous two years, demand for packaged snacks such as cookies, chips, noodles, and macaroni has increased as the pandemic has encouraged consumers to establish new in-home dining circumstances.
Rising health concerns globally, and the shifting lifestyles and dietary patterns, have fueled demand for a variety of snacking options. A significant trend fueling the industry is the increasing substitution of meals with snacks, as well as the rising demand for vegan, allergen-free snacks. International brands have seized this opportunity of increased demand for snacks, by packaging their products in more convenient ways to extend shelf life and promote on-the-go snack consumption. For instance, U.S.-based Kwik Lok Corp. offers its Eco-Lok closure packaging solution, which enables consumers to reclose the package and consume the snacks later. The industry growth is expected to be aided by innovative food products, flexible packaging solutions that meet customer needs, and busy lifestyles.
