Meticulous Research® has unveiled a new report titled Healthy Snacks Market by Type (Cereal & Granola Bars, Nuts, Meat, Biscuits, Cookies), Product Claim (Gluten-Free, Low-Fat), Packaging Type (Wraps, Boxes), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets & Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores) — Global Forecast to 2029. The report estimates that the global market for healthy snacks will grow to $152.08 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2022 to 2029.

The growth in the healthy snacks market is driven by heightened health awareness among consumers, an increasing demand for functional and nutritious foods, and the rising trend of convenient, on-the-go snacks. Emerging economies in regions like Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East & Africa are expected to provide substantial growth opportunities, particularly with the rise of online retail channels.

The report does highlight some challenges that could impact market growth. These include the higher price of healthy snacks compared to conventional options and the volatility in raw material costs, which can create financial unpredictability for manufacturers.

The market is analyzed across several segments, including type, product claim, packaging type, distribution channel, and geography, with detailed insights into the competitive landscape and country-specific market conditions.

In the product type segmentation, the market includes cereal & granola bars, nuts & seeds, dried fruits, meat snacks, biscuits & cookies, trail mix snacks, and other options. In 2022, the cereal & granola bars segment was the market leader, driven by rising consumption of packaged healthy foods, changing dietary patterns, the expansion of convenience stores, and increasing rates of chronic health issues such as diabetes and obesity. The meat snacks segment, however, is expected to experience the most significant growth, due to rising global meat consumption, a demand for protein-rich snacks, and growing health awareness.

The product claim segment covers gluten-free, low-fat, sugar-free, and other claims. The gluten-free segment led the market in 2022, driven by increasing rates of celiac disease, the health benefits of gluten-free diets, rising occurrences of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and higher demand for gluten-free options among younger consumers. This segment is anticipated to continue growing, supported by increasing awareness of gluten-related health issues.

In terms of packaging, the market is segmented into wraps, pouches, boxes, and other types. The wraps segment dominated in 2022, driven by a demand for convenient, on-the-go snacks suited to busy lifestyles. The expanding food packaging industry supports this trend, as wraps help maintain food freshness and warmth. The boxes segment is expected to see significant growth due to cost-effectiveness and the rapid expansion of e-commerce.

For distribution channels, the market includes supermarkets & hypermarkets, convenience stores, specialty stores, online channels, and others. Supermarkets & hypermarkets held the largest share in 2022, driven by their status as primary retail outlets for healthy snacks. These stores offer convenience, accessibility, and a wide product selection. However, online channels are projected to grow the fastest, driven by the demand for personalized shopping experiences, convenience, better discounts, and a wider product range.

Geographically, North America led the market in 2022, due to its well-established food industry, increasing health consciousness, high prevalence of celiac disease, and growing demand for gluten-free and clean-label snacks. Changing consumer habits, such as opting for smaller, nutritious snacks instead of full meals, also contribute to market growth. In North America, the U.S. is the largest market, influenced by a preference for convenience foods, evolving household sizes, and a rising interest in unique and healthy snack options. The increase in lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity and diabetes has accelerated the shift towards healthier snacks, making the U.S. a crucial market for this sector.
