Key Market Trends

Supermarket/Hypermarket holds a Prominent Share in Distribution Channel

As the consumer demand for healthier snacks rose, more retail channels are selling them. High market penetration and growing consumer demand for healthy snacks are thus expected to drive the overall demand for baked savory snacks. Owing to a huge retail space catering to a wide variety of preferences, the supermarkets/ hypermarkets are dominant channels for the sales of baked savory snack products. Special deals, discounts, and value for the money can further enhance the buying experience. The mixed bundling strategy of this distribution channel offers enhanced affordability, wherein the combination of snacking and/or other products can be collectively purchased at a relatively lower price.

United States holds the Largest Share

The growth of savory snacks in the United States is chiefly driven by consumers demanding tasty and healthy snacks without compromising the nutritional content.
