New Research Shows British Shoppers Fight Temptations To Purchase Unhealthy Snacks October 5, 2022: 12:00 AM EST New Kantar Worldpanel research suggests that British shoppers frequently fight temptations to buy sweet treats and salty snacks. The research compared consumers who claimed they were “struggling” financially to those who said they were “comfortable”. Almost two-thirds of the struggling group said they were "easily tempted" to buy confectionery and salty snacks when they were discounted, compared to only half of respondents saying the same thing in the comfortable segment of shoppers. However, just over a third of both groups actually bought the products in those circumstances. The Kantar research found clear messages from consumers that they were willing to shift to healthier products if the taste was good and the products were well-priced and easy to find in-store.  "Shoppers are looking for healthier products more often than they think", Kantar.com, October 05, 2022, © Kantar Group and Affiliates

US Snack Market Sees Substantial Growth September 3, 2022: 12:00 AM EST Large American companies are experiencing soaring snack sales. For example, net sales of Doritos, Cheetos, Ruffles, PopCorners, Smartfood, and SunChips grew by double digits in the second quarter. The U.S. snack market grew from about $116.6 billion in 2017 to an estimated $150.6 billion in 2022, and is forecast to grow to $169.6 billion in 2027, according to Euromonitor International, and includes fruit snacks, ice cream, biscuits, snack bars, candy and savory snacks in the category. The current growth is partially attributed to snacks becoming more expensive, and because people are getting back to their lives outside the home and want food to eat on the go. However, much of the consistent growth is due to an increase in snacking amongst Gen Z and Millenials, who often eat small meals and snacks throughout the day.  Danielle Wiener-Bronner, "How America turned into a nation of snackers", CNN Business, September 03, 2022, © Cable News Network.
