Snack Bars: Healthier Snack Option For Global Consumers

About this Report

About this Report

The growth potential for global snack bars remains strong as consumers continue to focus on health rather than lingering economic uncertainty. Moreover, consumers remain willing to spend more on credible, health-minded, value-added food. However, sales and product innovation remain overwhelmingly and unsustainably focused on the US. Manufacturers must look for alternative revenue streams in developed and developing countries, customising their products and marketing strategies accordingly.
