In 2019, the global organic snacks market was valued at USD 7.21 trillion. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 13.1%) between 2020 and 2027. The rise in health consciousness of consumers has boosted organic food consumption around the world. Buyers have started to choose natural foods because they avoid the negative effects of synthetic fertilizers in traditional nutritional products. The importance of snacking has been promoted by millennials and their children over the last few years thanks to the inclusion of healthy and natural ingredients in small-sized foods. The market is being driven by increased spending on organic farming in many developed countries, including the U.S., Canada and Australia. These organic products are made from organic-certified raw material, and are free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as artificial additives. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other healthy ingredients.
The industry's product development will be boosted by the implementation of new regulations on organic certified flavors. The final regulation on certified organic flavors was published by the U.S. National Organic Program (NOP) in 2019. According to the Organic Trade Association, more than 4,500 organic flavors are available in the U.S.
The 2019 Organic Industry Survey from the Organic Trade Association shows that organic food sales have outpaced total U.S. food sales. According to the association, young consumers are more likely to buy organic food for small meals as well as larger portions. The product's growth potential has increased due to the increasing willingness of consumers to purchase premium, eco-friendly products and the increase in disposable income in emerging economies. The high cost of production can hinder the adoption rate and thus limit market growth.
The popularity of small-sized, healthy foods has increased since the January 2020 outbreak of COVID-19. Frito-Lay's January 2020 US Snack Index found that 85% of respondents felt normal, while 48% felt happy after having a flavored snack. In the U.S., 92% of people plan to continue eating their favorite snacks even after the pandemic. Consumers are open to trying new products, particularly Gen Z and millennials. This trend will continue to increase organic snack options even after the pandemic.
In 2019, hypermarkets and supermarkets held a greater share than 35.0%. Because they offer a wide variety of household goods, these distribution channels are some of the most popular retailers around the world. This channel has seen an increase in sales due to impulse food purchases at supermarket checkouts.
With a CAGR between 2020 and 2027 of 14.9%, online retailers will experience the fastest growth in forecast years. Online retailers have been growing due to the rising popularity of smartphones around the globe and the availability of low-cost internet access. These online shopping platforms have helped expand their reach to potential customers in Tier II-III cities around the globe. The coronavirus pandemic also changed consumer buying habits, with many people shopping online.
Snack bar accounted for over 15.0% of global revenue in 2019. The demand for healthy, nutritious snacks has increased due to increasing awareness of fitness and health. Due to modern lifestyles and the growing number of nuclear families, these products are replacing heavy meals.
Bars containing nuts, fruits, and cereals have gained popularity over the last few years. The most well-known bars in this industry are muesli or granola bars. The product category has seen significant growth due to the increased penetration of frozen foods. Frozen meatballs and sausages, as well as hot dogs, hot dogs, cheese sticks, French fries, fillets and patties, are gaining popularity in quick-service restaurants (QSR), cafes and fast-food chains.
From 2020 to 2027, the bakery snacks market is expected to experience the fastest CAGR at 13.8%. Due to their increasing availability, cookies are gaining popularity in emerging economies like India and China. Cookies have seen a rise in popularity due to their healthy ingredients like oats, and other digestive ingredients. In addition, the demand for high-energy cookies, which are gluten-free, has increased significantly in the last few years. Over the forecast period, vegetable and fruit snacks will see steady growth. Along with common snacks made from bananas, carrots and apples, berries, papayas and avocados are gaining popularity.
North America accounted for the largest percentage of more than 40.0% in 2019. The key factors driving the region's growth are a growing health-conscious population, rising middle-class spending, a growing urban population, and an escalating demand for functional foods.
Asia Pacific will see the fastest CAGR at 14.0% between 2020 and 2027. The market's growth has been fueled by rising demand and consumption of organic foods in emerging Asia Pacific countries like China. The region's demand for organic snacks is also boosted by changes in lifestyle, diet, and income. The expansion of large retail chains such as hypermarkets and supermarkets in developing countries of Asia Pacific has boosted product availability and thereby fueled the demand.
