Guide to snack food packaging investment

摘要

THE Snack Food industry benefited from increased demand over the past five years. As the world economy has continued to strengthen, discretionary income levels have climbed. In turn, renewed consumer spending has boosted sales of potato and tortilla chips, along with nuts and seeds. Shifting consumer trends have affected the strategies of snack food producers during the period. Specifically, growing health concerns about eating foods high in sodium, fat and sugar have made some consumers wary of consuming traditional snacks. The industry's future looks promising, with improving economic conditions expected to further lift demand for snacks and snack food innovations ( such as snacks for children and teenagers, vegetable snacks, popping snacks and baked snacks) will further boost demand for snack foods.
