Key Trends and Recent Developments
Growing health consciousness; rising vegan population; flavour and texture innovations; and the increasing emphasis on sustainability are favouring the extruded snack food market expansion.
Growing Demand for Healthy and Nutritious Snacking Options
The rising demand for healthy and nutritious snacking options is prompting manufacturers to incorporate ingredients such as legumes, probiotics, Omega-3, dietary fibres, vegetables, whole grains, and protein isolates in extruded snacks. As per a report by Mondelez in 2022, 84% of consumers believed that snacks should cater to various nutritional needs.
Rising Preference for Plant-Based Snacks
As per the World Animal Foundation, there were 88 million vegans in the world in 2022. Hence, there is a growing utilisation of vegan ingredients such as peas, chickpeas, wheat, and soybeans in the form of concentrates, isolates, and flours in extruded snacks.
Innovations in Flavours and Textures
Key players are developing extruded snacks with innovative flavours such as cheese blends, spicy, and smoky, among others, and textures like light, airy, and crisp to cater to diverse customer preferences. Moreover, the rising usage of superfoods like matcha, turmeric, and spirulina to create snacks with unique and trendy flavours is creating lucrative extruded snack food market opportunities.
Increasing Emphasis on Sustainability
The growing environmental awareness among customers is pushing manufacturers to use eco-friendly and plant-based ingredients like millet and sorghum in extruded snacks. They are also utilising biodegradable and reusable packaging solutions to improve the sustainability profile of extruded snacks.
Global Extruded Snack Food Market Trends
With the globalisation of the food palate, key players are introducing innovative and new flavours such as tandoori, sriracha, truffle, and chimichurri to appeal to adventurous consumers seeking international and diverse tastes. Manufacturers are also adding regional or local flavours such as Italian herbs, Indian masala, and Mexican queso to cater to specific preferences of customers.
The extruded snack food market expansion is being fuelled by the rising demand for low-sugar or sugar-free options amid growing health concerns. Hence, key players are incorporating natural sweeteners such as coconut sugar, monk fruit, and stevia into extruded snacks. Moreover, the increasing vegan and vegetarian population is boosting the development of plant-based extruded snacks with flavours like plant protein, nut-based cheeses, and tempeh seasoning.
