Savory snacks are products made of staple raw materials such as vegetables (potato, carrot), fruit (tree nuts), grains (wheat, maize, rye, and rice), starch, vegetable oils, and seasonings. Savory snacks are salty or savory-flavored food items enjoyed as appetizers or between meals, including potato chips, popcorn, pretzels, nuts, crackers, samosas, spring rolls, nachos, and savory pastries. Increasing urbanization has directly impacted the demand for ready-to-eat and convenience foods such as savory snacks. With consumers spending less time preparing meals due to their busy lifestyles, savory snacks are a quick and easy solution to satisfy hunger cravings. Changing consumer attitudes about snacking due to modern lifestyle practices is another factor that drives market growth. The surge in the use of private label facilities by small savory snack manufacturers reflects the strategic advantages and opportunities for the market. However, adverse impacts on nutrition and health outcomes of savory snacks, including excessive sodium intake, unhealthy fat content, calorie-dense, low-nutrient content, and adverse effects on weight management, are hampering the market’s growth. Changing consumer preferences, ingredient sourcing, production limitations, compliance costs, market entry barriers, consumer perception, and international trade considerations may limit the market demand. Moreover, incorporating healthy ingredients in savory snacks drives innovation by addressing consumer demand for healthier options, expanding flavor possibilities, accommodating dietary restrictions, and promoting nutritional value, creating a lucrative market opportunity in the future.
