Asia-Pacific Snack Pellets Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increased consumption of packaged foods due to a busy lifestyle
Increased demand for food products such as chips, crackers, and all the snack pellets ultimately drives the growth of packaged food products. As the urban population and the number of working individuals are increasing tremendously, the consumption of fast-food products such as snacks and snack pellets is also gaining pace. Private sectors have a hectic schedule, and it is tiring for employees to spend long hours cooking food. Hence, they prefer packaged food products, such as potato chips, cereal-based chips, crackers, puffs, and others which reduces the time of consumers and helps their busy lifestyle.
Thus, the increased consumption of packaged food is likely to drive the growth of the Asia-Pacific snack pellets market in the forecast period.
- Increase in demand for savory snacks
Increasing demand for convenient food products with easy availability and low cost is one of the major reasons for the high demand for savory snacks such as chips, and crackers, among others.
Snacking between meals has witnessed an upsurge among consumers of all age groups. In addition, consumers are also demanding healthy snacks that combine nutrition and convenience.
Furthermore, consumers spending more time working and studying from home increased their consumption of savory snacks, thus, boosting the demand for snack pellets across the globe. With rising demand and the inability of the brick and mortar stores to fulfill it, consumers shifted their buying preference to online stores. As a result, the savory snacks and snack pellets manufacturers capitalized on such opportunities to optimize their operations and product availability in stores to cater to the growing demand.
Thus, the increased demand for savory snacks and consistent launches and expansion of these products by the manufacturers is driving the market's growth.
Opportunities
- Emergence of healthy snack pellets
Healthy snacking is no longer a short-lived trend as it has become essential for consumers owing to increased health awareness. To meet the strong consumer expectations and demands, manufacturers are developing healthy snack pellets with an improved nutritional profile.
Introducing healthier snack pellets depends upon the oil type when cooking the snacks. For instance, consumers are now looking for chips cooked with healthier oil options, such as sunflower oil, which has half the saturated fat of cottonseed oil. Sunflower oil instead contains unsaturated fat, a type of fat that's good for the heart. Chips and crackers cooked in soy oil are other options that do not contain saturated fats.
Furthermore, consumers are concerned about the broad spectrum of health concerns, which are related to immunity and various diseases. Thus, consumers are opting for organic and cereal-based food to maintain their health. Thus, snack pellet manufacturers are launching organic and healthy snack pellets to attract consumers.
Restraints/Challenges
- Fluctuating prices of raw materials
As the price of raw materials increases, it affects the whole supply chain from the manufacturers-distribution channel-marketing company and mostly the consumers with low income. If raw material prices increase, the prices of the finished product will also increase. This is the major restraining factor for the snack pellets market. The raw material needed for snack pellets are potatoes, corn, rice, tapioca, multigrain, and others. Increasing prices of these raw materials are expected to hinder the growth of the snack pellets market as snack pellets manufacturers find it difficult to buy raw materials such as potatoes, rice, tapioca, and others amid the fluctuating prices.
Additionally, disruption in the supply chain is also the reason for fluctuating prices of raw materials such as potatoes and rice multigrain. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic to international suppliers. As several governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally due to COVID-19, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials.
Thus, the raw material price fluctuations have affected manufacturers adversely, resulting in increased prices of snack pellets. Manufacturers have to cope with such situations and have to handle the sudden increase and decrease in demand for the products. This in turn, is expected to restrain the growth of the Asia-Pacific snack pellets market.
- High cost associated with potato chips machines
The machines and equipment required to manufacture potato chips refers to a set of machines used to produce potato chips from fresh potatoes. In other words, it is a complete potato chips production line with various processing machines. Namely, there are potato sorting and grading machines, potato washing and peeling machines, potato blancher, de-watering machines, chips frying machines, de-oiling and cooling machines, flavoring machines, packaging machines, and product handling machines.
Specifically, in terms of potato chip making, there are two kinds of potato chip manufacturing machines: small potato chip-making machines and automatic ones. The small potato chips making machine, usually semi-automatic, is often used for small chip making, which needs a small production capacity. The fully automatic potato chip manufacturing machine is suitable for large-scale chips businesses that need high production capacity.
The price of potato chips making machines is an important factor to consider for a potato chip manufacturer. However, prices vary for different types of potato chips making machines. For instance, an automatic chip manufacturing machine is more expensive than a small semi-automatic one, and each process line may differ in the price for different components of machines.
Thus, the high cost of these machines makes it difficult for manufacturers to balance the cost structure, and they may increase the overall price of potato chips to maintain their profit margin. Thus, this may create a challenge for the market.
Post COVID-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific Snack Pellets Market
Post COVID-19, the demand for snack pellets is increased in the Asia-Pacific region due to a change in the buying pattern of consumers and a gradual shift towards increasing the demand for snacks among various end-users such as food & beverages and others. Due to the discontinuation of many strict mandates and restraints, manufacturers and producers are able to fulfill the demand for snack pellets in the region. In addition, the increasingly busy work schedules enable consumers to shift towards snacks that can help their hunger and will propel the growth of the market.
The increased demand for different flavored snack pellets enables manufacturers to launch innovative & flavored snack pellets, which ultimately increases the demand for snack pellets, which has helped the market grow.
