New York, United States, Oct. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- An energy bar is a nutritional snack with ingredients that increase energy and endurance. Its high sugar and carbohydrate content, which contributes to its high energy benefit, distinguishes it from other protein and snack bars. Granola, oats, nuts, and seeds are energy-rich ingredients in these bars. “The global energy bar market size is envisioned to grow at a CAGR of 6.65% and reach USD 1,119 million during the forecast period.”, states the Research Manager at Straits Research P. Ltd.
Key Drivers
People's increasing preference for prepackaged snacks and sweets has increased the demand for energy bars. In addition, busy work schedules and the desire to save time while cooking are significant contributors to the growing demand for energy bars. An increase in consumer purchasing power and a growing preference for flavorful food have contributed to the consumption of energy bars.
Changes in consumption patterns and a heightened awareness of healthy foods have also led to an increase in the consumption of convenience food. Numerous consumers consume bars containing high micronutrients that provide an energy boost. Thus, the benefits offered by energy bars, such as simple consumption and disposable packaging, ensure the product's safety and increase demand over the forecast period.
Growth Opportunities
The increased consumption of low-carb and low-fat energy bars is a consequence of the rising demand for diet foods. In addition, manufacturing gluten-free and non-allergenic nutrition foods has become more convenient as many individuals are becoming aware of the health benefits of consuming natural, chemical-free foods. Additionally, the rising prevalence of diabetes has increased the demand for low-sugar foods, creating new market opportunities.
