Global demand for healthy snacks is expected to increase as consumers become more aware of the health risks associated with junk food consumption, such as heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. One of the key trends in the global healthy snacks market is the increase in consumer desire for healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle. Healthy snacks are becoming an important part of people's diets worldwide, driving the global healthy snacks market.

The increasing number of people entering the formal labor market, coupled with their busy lifestyles, has increased the demand for snacks. This is due to the fact that snacks provide quick satiety and a much-needed break during a busy day. This market for healthy snacks is fueled by the growing trend of avoiding the risk of certain chronic diseases and maintaining health and wellness through conscious consumption of these snacks. The on-the-go nutrition trend is rapidly gaining popularity among millennial and working adults as they seek snack solutions to combat nutrient deficiencies and other health issues in their busy schedules.

The United States used to be a big consumer of snacks, but consumers have shifted their focus to consuming healthy and nutritious snacks to avoid all the health-related risks associated with excessive snacking behaviour. Also, the high penetration rate of supermarkets and hypermarkets, as well as convenience stores, is another important factor driving market sales in the region.
