Three dimensional (3D) traditional meals a day is a dining habit of the past. Today busy consumers, especially Millennials, are transforming into other habits or seeking methods to supplement their nutritional necessities. This is one of the reasons new startups and big brands considering entering the snack food business and taking advantage of the trend. The present trend of snacks foods preferred by consumers is \u201ccorn puffs, kurkure, fried extruded snacks, pellets chips, potato chips, banana chips, namkeen, fried matar (green peas), popcorn, caramel popcorn, tortilla chips<\/a>, corn tortilla chips\u201d,<\/em> and others as per regional and local tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the line is not cleared between traditional meals and snacks, consumers benefit from snacks that have nutritional value and help meet their daily nutritional needs. For example, a product seen as a treat could also serve as a good source of carbohydrate, protein, and required fat. Benefits from high-quality snack foods also include emotional wellness, nutritional requirements, functional outcome, and help facilitate social outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young and children in India and worldwide are crazy when it comes to snacking and its varieties. Though Indians are known for diverse cultures, and regional diversity the one thing which keeps them going is love for a variety of snacks from each culture, region, and state. So snacks food is considered as unity in regional food diversity or in other words \u201cIndia is divided by states, united by snacks\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snacking<\/a> Trends & Preference in Consumers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"snacking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The trend in snack food consumption has increased dramatically in recent times with the global snack food industry itself projected to grow in double-digit by 2024. The Indian snack market will be in boom with more than INR 1 Billion by the end of 2024. The future of India\u2019s Snacks Market will also grow with double-digit CAGR for the time frame of 2018 to 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driving consumer segment comes from the millennial population with a push toward hunger, variety, flavor\/taste, health, raw ingredients, organics, reduced carbohydrate content, branding, quantitative and qualitative packaging as the largest trends in snack food preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hunger Frequency Across Consumers\u2019 Age Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hunger of consumers plays one of the most important roles for adapting to snacking frequently instead of 3D meals. In other words, \u201chow frequent consumers become hungry.\u201d According to Mintel survey report, one-quarter of 18-34 year-olds are always hungry. Moreover, 17 percent of 18-24 year-olds report that they do not have time for a meal to overcome their hunger, so they go for snack food. However, 15 percent of snackers are always hungry. As a result, snacks ease hunger craving and are easy to go for quick satisfaction. 75 percent of millennial consumers consider whether a snack satisfies hunger when purchasing a particular snack. Thus, hunger frequency and its solution increase the scope for snack food business and so new startups prefer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all (94 percent) of adults in the U.S. snack daily. Faster, easier, and efficient ways of consuming food have been essential. Therefore snack food producers are positioned to help meet the nutritional needs of busy consumers too for the sustainability of their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequency Trends of Snacking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The plant-based (protein) ingredients such as pea, collagen, brown rice, nuts, and seeds snack food trend has driven the consumers\u2019 preference over carbohydrate-based snacks. These snacks provide additional fiber and vitamins, alongside the benefit of protein and so consumers prefer its importance to their overall health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The writer noted a range of flavors like \u201cchocolate, honey, fruit, almond & nut, frosted sugar, cashew and ginger\u201d as being \u201camong the top and emerging flavors in the category.\u201d The 2018 FONA trend report also noted that millennial consumers also gravitate toward global and exotic-sounding flavors like sriracha and acai berry when reaching for snack foods over more traditional flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Food<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Millennial mothers are setting a good example for their children by educating them on the differences between non-healthy and healthy snacks. More than two-thirds of millennial mothers state their children are aware of the differences. As a result, 55% of children of millennial parents are more likely to consume a healthy snack product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a publication by Grandview Research, Inc., cereal and nut bars continue to make up the largest segment of the global healthy snack food market at 33.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snack delivery services are an emerging trend and could be more significant in the future with eCommerce players like Amazon, Flipcart, and other locals coming in the field. Currently, only 5 percent of snacks are sold online. This could be seen as a supplement to snack acquisition, especially in the healthy snack category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IRI<\/strong> reports that online snack dollar sales grew by 46% year over year in March 2020. During the period of January 20 to April 5, 2020, the largest growing snack segment was “kernel popcorn and frozen cookies, which saw dollar sales grow by 38.3% and 34.5%, respectively, as consumers want convenience with homemade results.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The category of gluten-free foods increased by 136% from 2013 to the year 2015 and reached $11.6 billion.

Ancient gluten-free grains such as quinoa, amaranth, and faro are also an increasing trend in restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Brand Snack Food Preferences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to a survey by A. T. Kearney, 96 percent of U.S. consumers describe local snack food as products grown or produced within 100 miles from the point of sale. According to the market research firm Packaged Facts, the local foods market generated $11.7 billion in sales in 2014 and will climb to $20.2 billion by 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small is the new big in snack packaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"snack<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Snack-size. 100-calorie packs. Single-serve. All of these snack packaging formats have one thing in common: They were created to attract and appease a consumer that desires easy, portable, pre-portioned snack foods. We now live in a world of ‘snackification’, with many consumers replacing large meals with snacks, grazing throughout the day. The snack food industry has responded enthusiastically with smaller packages of consumer favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The increasing trend towards snack foods is a solution to the many needs of modern consumers in general and millennials in particular, whether between meals or as their replacement.
