Ah, even in what used to be called “the lazy days of summer,” people are busier than ever before. And because of this, consumers’ eating habits are changing and straying from the typical three-meal-a-day habit. Consumers want foods they can take with them wherever they go, so portion-controlled snack and bakery products are coming into play, helping to overhaul the marketplace. So be sure to check out our Market Trends story on Portion Control, which mentions that nearly 50% of consumers cite portability as a necessary attribute in a snack.
Snack and bakery products manufacturers see a great chance to offer single-serve versions that not only taste great, in bold, vibrant flavors, but are a healthy snack option that can come in sustainable packaging.
