Healthy Snacks Market Overview With Demographic Data & Stats And Industry Growth Trends By 2022 - 2030.

The global healthy snacks market size was valued at USD 85.6 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% from 2022 to 2030. The healthy snack market has soared in recent years, especially since the global pandemic. As customers become more health-conscious, the need for nutritional yet delicious products has been booming. Furthermore, the increasing development in the supply chain of products is driving market growth. Major supermarket chains are now collaborating with third-party online delivery companies to expand their operations to include e-commerce channels.

The COVID-19 pandemic altered people's attitudes toward eating. People found themselves eating the majority of their meals at home while out-of-home dining opportunities were limited by stay-at-home mandates. Consumers want to stay in good shape so they can prevent illnesses, train at higher intensities for longer periods of time, and enjoy improved health. Hence, recent innovations in numerous healthy snack niches are on the rise, and this trend is inspired by customers' preferences for snacks that deliver on health, convenience, and taste.

The rise in disposable income, along with a corporate culture of long work hours and stressful lifestyles, has led to a shift in eating patterns. Snacks have historically been seen to be unhealthy due to their high oil and sugar content, and hence are a major contributor to health problems such as obesity, high blood sugar, and hypertension. However, due to a recent shift in consumer behavior, the demand is fast shifting away from oily-spicy products and toward healthier, sugar-free, and low-calorie snacks packaged in small portions. This is a significant trend driving industry growth.

New-age customers want nutritious, on-the-go, and economical snacking options that suit their nutritional needs while also satisfying their taste buds. According to a 2020 study by Mondelēz International, nearly 59% of adults throughout the world prefer to consume multiple short meals throughout the day rather than a few larger ones. Snacks that meet stated health and nutrition criteria as well as address age-specific requirements or concerns, such as immunity, digestion, memory, weight loss, or energy are being developed by healthy snacks manufacturers, thereby propelling the market growth.

The healthy snacks industry in the forecast year is expected to be dominated by snacks with intriguing, new flavors and textures, created using sustainable technologies, packed with recyclable materials, and with clean labels. Vegan snacks, zero fats, high/added proteins, whole grains, reduced/zero sugar, zero oil/baked snacks, zero gluten content, and snacks with environmentally friendly packaging are just a few examples of emerging trends in this sector. The number of innovations in the market is continually expanding.

Personalized healthy snacks are another trend that is gaining momentum in the global industry. Snacks that match consumer lifestyle, dietary, and health needs are in high demand. As a result, personalized nutrition is now on the rise. Snacks that are keto-friendly and low in cholesterol, as well as those that are mood-boosting, gut-friendly, and help achieve better sleep, are becoming increasingly popular. For instance, in March 2022, PepsiCo and Beyond Meat launched their first plant-based product, meatless jerky. The companies had entered into a joint venture to develop plant-based healthy snacks and beverages under their Planet Partnership.
