Demand Fueled by Convenience, Flavor Innovation, and Premiumization

Busy lifestyles and the rise of on-the-go eating are fueling demand for packaged snacks that deliver both taste and convenience. Manufacturers are innovating rapidly, offering:

• Better-for-you formulations such as baked, air-popped, reduced-salt, and low-fat offerings.
• Premium and exotic flavors tailored to local taste preferences.
• Attractive, resealable, and sustainable packaging solutions.

In parallel, health-oriented snacking is reshaping new product development. Consumers are increasingly reaching for snacks made with natural and clean label ingredients, driving market growth beyond traditional potato chips.

Potato Chips Remain the Revenue Leader

Potato chips will continue to dominate the product landscape, holding 29.7% market share in 2025.

Their leadership is supported by:

• Wide global acceptance and familiarity
• Continuous flavor experimentation and premiumization
• Shelf-stable formats that support large-scale distribution

Innovations in low-oil frying and baking technologies are helping major brands respond to the global shift toward mindful snacking without compromising taste.

Supermarkets and Hypermarkets Drive Volume Sales

The hypermarkets and supermarkets channel will command 40.0% of the global savory snack retail share in 2025.

These formats remain the preferred purchase destination because consumers can:

• Compare multiple brands in a single visit
• Access in-store promotions, discounts, and bundled offers
• Explore new product launches through dedicated shelf displays

Modern retail expansion in emerging markets is further boosting availability and product visibility.

Strong Regional Outlook: APAC Leads Growth Momentum

From 2025-2035, the savory snack market will grow consistently across global regions, with APAC leading the expansion.

Regional highlights:
• Asia-Pacific (APAC): Fastest-growing region; China (5.3% CAGR) and India (4.9% CAGR) lead due to rising disposable income, urbanization, and Western snacking habits.

• Europe: Steady growth in Germany (4.5% CAGR), France (4.1%), and the U.K. (3.7%), supported by innovation in premium and clean label segments.

• United States: A mature but consistently expanding market, forecasted to grow at 3.3% CAGR, reaching USD 165.9 million by 2035.

• Saudi Arabia: Mobility, rising tourism, and increasing modern retail formats fuel growing demand for packaged snack offerings.

Consumers in developed markets are shifting from mass-market snacks to premium and artisanal variants, while emerging economies witness a surge in mainstream snack purchases due to affordability and wider retail reach.

Adoption Driven by Better-for-You Snacking Trends

The global shift toward healthier lifestyles is pushing consumers to reconsider their snacking choices. The highest interest is observed among Millennials and Gen Z, who prefer nutrient-dense, low-oil, gluten-free, and plant-based snack alternatives.

Manufacturers are responding through:
