Global Organic Snacks Market Growth

Organic snacks are made from certified organic ingredients, and produced without synthetic substances like artificial colours, fertilisers, pesticides, or GMOs. These snacks are healthier and rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The organic snacks market demand stems from an increasing number of health-conscious consumers.

As awareness of health issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity grows, so does concern over the negative effects of non-organic food products. Consequently, there is a preference for snacks free from artificial colourants, flavours, and unhealthy additives which is influencing organic snacks market dynamics and trends in the coming years.

Global Organic Snacks Market Analysis

The organic snacks industry revenue is benefitting from increased disposable incomes and shifts in lifestyle and dietary preferences. As people's incomes rise and their lifestyles evolve, there is a growing inclination towards organic and premium snacks. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of large retail chains, such as hypermarkets and supermarkets, supports the demand for organic snacks by providing a convenient platform for consumers to access a wide variety of these products.

Global Organic Snacks Industry Outlook

According to Oxford Economics, global disposable income per capita is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.9% from 2022 to 2050, rising from USD 10,136 to USD 16,979. The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to see the highest growth, with disposable income per capita increasing by 3.2% annually. Significant gains are projected in China and India, with incomes expected to grow at rates of 4.0% and 4.2%, respectively. This increase in disposable income is likely to contribute to organic snacks demand growth as more consumers can afford premium and healthier snack options.

Whereas Africa and the Middle East will grow at an average annual rate of 1.0%, with Africa slightly lower at 1.3% and the Middle East at 0.8%. The data suggests a widening gap between emerging and developed markets, with regions like Asia Pacific outpacing others significantly in terms of income growth.

Further, as per UNDESA, from 2020 onwards, the global urban population is projected to increase significantly, reaching 6.68 billion by 2050, with urbanisation levels rising from 56.2% in 2020 to 68.4% in 2050. In more developed regions, urbanisation will grow from 79.1% to 86.6% during this period, with the urban population rising to 1.124 billion by 2050. Less developed regions will experience a notable increase in urbanisation from 51.7% to 65.6%, with the urban population expanding to 5.556 billion.

Africa's urban population is expected to surge from 587 million in 2020 to 1.489 billion by 2050, with urbanisation levels increasing from 43.5% to 58.9%. Asia will also see substantial growth, with its urban population growing from 2.361 billion to 3.479 billion and urbanisation levels rising from 51.1% to 66.2%.

The organic snacks market opportunities are driven by trends indicating a global shift towards increased urbanisation. Significant growth in urban populations, especially in less developed regions such as Africa and Asia, is expected to drive much of the global urban expansion through 2050.
