Rising Popularity of RTE Snacks Among Population Fuels the Middle East & Africa Snack Pellets Market
The surge in the consumption of high-quality convenience food owing to changing lifestyles is one of the biggest trends in the food industry. A hectic lifestyle and extended working hours drive the demand for ready-to-eat food as consumers want to save cooking time and effort. Moreover, the rising number of dual-income households in developed and developing countries also contributes to the rising demand for packaged food. Ready-to-eat (RTE) snacks are also witnessing massive demand, especially among working professionals, due to the rising snacking trend in corporations. Small coffee and snack break to relieve work stress drive the demand for RTE snacks. Light snacks such as popcorn, chips, and puffs are popular among the younger population and children.
The rising demand for RTE snacks is driving the Middle East & Africa snack pellets market. Snack manufacturers are focusing on offering snacks with innovative shapes and textures to attract a large number of consumers. For instance, in June 2022, GEA Group developed a new snack format called “Cinderella’s Slippers," a snack pellet shaped like a slipper. The new format is developed to meet the challenge of dipping the snacks in the sauce without getting the fingers coated. The Cinderella Slippers snack pellet is available in three versions: Classic, Perforated, and Ribbed. Thus, the rising popularity of RTE snacks among consumers and growing innovations drive the Middle East & Africa snack pellets market.
