Market Growth Factors

Global demand for snack bars has been on the rise for various reasons such as growing consumer awareness of health benefits associated with the consumption of healthy snack bars with functional ingredients such as protein, fiber, vitamins, and natural ingredients such as low-sugar, gluten-free, keto, vegan, and clean-label products, which is stronger in millennials and Gen Z that focus on transparency and price. Superfoods, probiotics, and plant proteins are making health-focused snack bars an everyday consumer staple.

With growth in urbanization and number of double income families, the demand for ready-to-eat snack foods has also increased. Snack bars are shelf stable, require no preparation, have a variety of ingredients, and are easy to transport, making them an ideal source of energy for these consumers. Besides, developed markets like the US still show positive growth for healthy convenience products with healthy travelers and mobile professionals looking for more convenient, healthy options driving the snack bar market.

Ingredient and flavor innovation continues to drive new products with manufacturers testing a variety of plant-based proteins, ancient grains, adaptogens, collagen and flavors such as matcha, turmeric and mint chip. Specialty diet, allergen free and experimental bars cater to niche markets. In addition, improved presentation and calorie-controlled portions increase the appeal of these products and support regular purchasing trends. The outlook remains positive.
