Global Snack Food Packaging Market is valued at approximately USD 17.2 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.2% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Snack food packaging is the materials and designs used to package different kinds of snack foods. The main objective of snack food packaging is to protect the contents from outside influences including moisture, light, and air, which can lead to spoiling and degrade the product’s flavor and quality. Additionally, snack food packaging is created to advertise the product and increase consumer appeal using striking graphics, vivid colors, and eye-catching designs. Factors such as changing consumer preferences, increasing disposable incomes, surge in consumption of ready-to-eat food coupled with the rising inclination towards convenience, sustainability and clean-label food products are playing a vital role in market growth across the globe.

In addition, the rapid proliferation of the e-commerce industry has created new opportunities for snack food companies to sell their products online. This has led to an increased demand for packaging that is designed to protect the contents during shipping and handling, such as vacuum-sealed bags and sturdy cardboard boxes. According to Statista, in 2022, the online sales of snack food accounted for 6.8% globally, which is projected to rise and likely to reach 9.5% of the overall sales. Therefore, the rising availability of snack food on various e-commerce platforms is augmenting the market growth at a considerable rate. Moreover, the growing R&D activities in packaging solutions, as well as introduction of innovative packaging designs presents various lucrative opportunities over the forecasting years. However, the volatile prices of raw materials and stringent government rules & regulations are hindering the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.

Whereas, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecasting years.
