Today’s snack and bakery consumers want food products in packaging that offers convenience, reliable functionality and sustained freshness. They’re looking for better-for-you snacks in single-serve portions and resealability. To meet this demand, vendors are providing a variety of convenience options—single-serving, re-sealable, portion-control, on-the-go—that offer benefits for bakery and snack producers.
Convenience is paramount when it comes to snacking, and small single-serve bags provide the ultimate in convenience since they do not require cutlery, meal-planning, refrigeration or clean-up. Also, the number of one-person households is on the rise. Research by GlobalData indicates that by 2020, approximately 414 million people will be living in single-person households globally, making up around 18 percent of total households.
