Key Drivers Accelerating Innovation in the Snack Bars Industry
One major trend propelling the snack bars market is the drive for innovation through high-protein ingredients. Companies are leveraging novel protein sources like Solein to differentiate their products. Solein is a protein derived from a natural, unmodified single-cell organism, cultivated via an unconventional method. Its use boosts protein content in snack bars, addressing growing consumer demand for plant-based protein options.

For example, in January 2024, Finnish food company Fazer introduced the Fazer Taste the Future snack bar, a limited-edition product featuring Solein, a protein developed by Solar Foods from air. This vegan-friendly and palm oil-free bar combines 70% dark chocolate, hazelnuts, dried strawberries, and crunchy oat puffs. Containing 2% Solein, it also serves as a source of iron, an important nutrient often lacking in plant-based diets.
