Plant-based snacks market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. Increasing health consciousness among consumers and increased awareness about health problems are the major factors contributing to the growth of the plant-based snacks market. Health-conscious living has surged the requirement to find nature-based sustainable, preservatives, and chemical-free health foods products. The nutritional benefits of plant-based snacks such as immune function, and reduced risk of several diseases have encouraged consumers to opt for such products. Plant-based snacks are convenient food that provides vitamins, minerals, and energy in a snackable form. Moreover, they offer high nutritional value, such as fiber, minerals, & protein, and other natural properties. Consumers are shifting their eating preferences towards healthy and natural food ingredients which is encouraging the manufacturers to take advantage and offer new and innovative plant-based snacks which are loaded with plant protein. For instance, in 2022, Peperami launched a vegetarian version of the nostalgic meaty stick snacks made from a blend of pea and wheat protein and are flavored with “peppery herbs and spices” that recreate the unique Peperami flavor in a plant-based snack. Each plant-based stick contains 64 calories per serving and is high in plant protein.

Segmental Outlook 

The global plant-based snacks market is segmented based on its nature, product type, and format. Based on nature, the market is segmented into organic, and conventional. Based on the product type, the market is categorized into meat alternative snacks, cereal/grain-based snacks, fruit & nut snacks, plant-based snack bars, and others. Further, based on format, the market is categorized into savory, and sweet. Among the product type segment, the meat alternative snacks sub-segment is expected to cater to a prominent market share over the forecast period owing to rising awareness and health concerns among people about the risk of animal-borne disease associated with meat products.

Consumers are becoming more aware of the risk of animal-borne disease associated with meat products which is inclining them towards meat alternatives in the market. The rising awareness is creating an impact on consumers' food habits and a rise in health concerns among people. Apart from health concerns, the spread of various infectious diseases, linked to the consumption of animal products is further creating a market for meat alternative products and thus strongly boosting the growth of meat alternative snacks. Moreover, the ongoing vegan trend around the globe is promoting demand for meat alternatives among key products available in the plant-based snacks market. In response to consumer demand and the growing flexitarian, vegetarian, and vegans population, manufacturers are focusing on producing plant-based meat snacks in the market. In May 2022, Novolutions, the foodtech startup expanded its focus to plant-based protein with the new brand ‘Just Dig In!’ offering a variety of plant-based meat snacks. The new range encompasses Chick*n Oriental Meatballs, Chick*n Seekh Kebabs, Chick*n Spicy Fingers, and Chick*n Chili Cheese Nuggets. The products are available across Modern Bazaar outlets and online portals in Delhi, and the Just Dig In! website.

The European Region Is Expected to Hold Prominent Share in the Global Plant-based Snacks Market

The European region is expected to hold a prominent share in the global plant-based snacks market owing to growing veganism and changing eating preferences among consumers in this region. Veganism in European countries such as the UK is on the rise with change in eating preferences among consumers as a major reason. According to a 2019 survey by Ipsos Mori, commissioned by The Vegan Society, in Great Britain, there has been an increase in the vegan population from 150,000, or 0.25% in 2014 to 600,000 vegans, or 1.16 in 2019. More people in this region are opting for a compassionate lifestyle and more vegan offerings and as result, manufacturers are increasing their vegan offerings with product launches to serve the demand. For instance, in march 2022, LoveRaw launched two new varieties of its vegan peanut butter cups with two flavors to choose from the Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and the world’s first vegan White Chocolate Peanut Butter cup in the UK. Moreover, vegan peanut butter cups have been made without palm oil, dairy, gluten, or any other artificial ingredient.
