Sweet Biscuits, Snack Bars and Fruit Snacks in Canada
July 2022
PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Snack bars will continue to put sweet biscuits into the shade
There will be a slowdown in the rate of growth in retail current value sales of sweet biscuits, snack bars and fruit snacks in Canada over the forecast period. Protein/energy bars will be by far the top performer, boosted by heightened consumer interest in health and wellness, fitness and personal appearance.
Seeing much potential for growth, manufacturers in other product areas are moving into snack bars
Industry players in mature snacks categories have been exploring growth opportunities in adjacent categories. For instance, Mars Wrigley Confectionery Canada, a major player in chocolate confectionery, gum and sugar confectionery, has made way into snack bars with the acquisition of KIND Snacks.
Manufacturers adopt a holistic approach to sustainability
Sustainability has become an increasingly important issue for snacks manufacturers due to growing consumer concerns about climate change and social equality. Players such as Loacker have adopted a holistic approach to sustainability.
