Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Health-Conscious Consumption:
The global move toward healthier eating is stimulating the fruit snacks market. Consumers are searching for snacks that may carry some nutritional value, creating demand for items like fruit snacks that are "better-for-you." This change is driven by growing consumer recognition of conditions like obesity and diabetes formulating a greater consumer base that seeks low-calorie, nutrient-rich options as snacks instead of traditional sugary or fatty snacks. Manufacturers are responding by focusing on fruit snacks made with real fruit and are minimally processed, and more often than not, our fortified with vitamins, fiber, or even probiotics. The demand for clean labels, organic products, and assurances that products contain no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives are promoting this change when consumers explore ingredient lists and look for "real" options.
- Convenience and On-the-Go Lifestyles:
Modern fast-paced lifestyles are a significant driver of demand for fruit snacks. The convenience of pre-packaged, portable and ready-to-eat snacks applies to consumers and their needs for quick and easily accessible on-the-go snacks for work, school, and travel. Consequently, so many new fruit snack formats are available today – pouches, bars, and individual portions, which are not only perfect for taking along but also suited in nearly all instances as edible convenience food. Fruit snacks are also easily accessible, available through multiple distribution channels; supermarkets, convenience stores, and of course the strongest growing sector that is e-commerce, fruit snacks will not go away. This shift in demand clearly represents a consumer preference for the easiest potential options that can seamlessly fit into a fast-paced everyday lifestyle.
- Product Innovation & Diversification:
Innovation is a critical driver in the fruit snacks segment. It's constantly shifting—in flavors, when consumed, in how consumers eat the product, to name a few reasons. Companies are investing big bucks in new flavors, textures, and formats to keep consumers engaged while changing the groups of people they attract. Interestingly, some of the innovation focuses on exotic fruit blends, with sweet/spicy combinations, or multi-textured mixes (think crunchy freeze-dried fruit combined with other fruit forms, or potential savory blends). In addition to flavor and texture, innovation is also taking the form of functional benefits—think of products made with Omega-3s or a source of choline to support brain development, or products with specific vitamins for immunity support. Even more, brands are adding value with exciting packaging, popular licensed characters for kids, so on-and-so-forth, to create excitement in the space and drive sales.
