The Global Meat Snacks Market is expected to grow at a high CAGR 7% during the forecasting period (2022-2029).
The market is driven by factors like changing lifestyle habits, health awareness, and an increase in demand for healthier protein-based snacks.
Health plays a crucial role in the types of meals consumers eat. Consumers prefer the lunch which is healthy, natural and provides them the energy boost without compromising with the taste.
Meat snacks satisfy many of these requirements and have been cashing in on the trend. Meat snacks are one of the top four food items millennials purchase in convenience stores.
Meat snacks have been a star performer in savory snacks, with a minimally processed image and high-protein content that serves as an appetite suppressant and energy booster.
Though the meat snacks market is on an incline; but, more consumers are also increasingly looking outside meats for their protein and Americans are eating more nuts, seeds, legumes, and other plant-based varieties.
All of these choices have opened consumers’ palates, but have also put pressure on meat snack companies to appeal to that growing sense of discovery.
