New Snacks for Health-Minded Consumers
A variety of industry trends are responsible for an uptick in healthy snack options:
- There is a growing preference amongst snackers for products that provide more healthful options than typical snacks.
- "Free from" remains a top driving trend for healthy-ingredient snack sales, with allergen- and gluten-free claims the most popular.
- Protein, bite-sized snacks, and innovative flavors are in high demand.
- There has been an increase in the percentage of adults who believe they snack healthier, which has climbed to 30% in the last decade. Relatedly, younger Americans are more likely to believe they eat healthier than are older adults.
- Finally, the term "natural" as a marketing tool may have to change if the US Food and Drug Administration adopts regulations concerning the term.
