Snack Pellets Market by Type (Potato, Corn, Rice, Tapioca, Multigrain), Form (Laminated, Tridimensional, Die-face, Gelatinized), Technique (Twin-screw extruder, Single-screw extruder), Flavor (Plain, Flavored, Nutritional), and Region – Global Forecast to 2023
[149 Pages Report] The snack pellets market was valued to be at USD 2.0 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach a value of about USD 2.5 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.3%. The growth of the snack pellets market is driven by the rising demand for prepared and convenience food products. In addition to this, the growing focus on facility expansion, marketing schemes, and information exchange programs for creating awareness to enhance the consumption of snack pellets has contributed to the growth of the market.
The multigrain type segment is projected to be the fastest growing in the snack pellets market during the forecast period.
The multigrain type segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the snack pellets market during the forecast period. Multigrain snack pellets are made of various grains that have high nutritional value. Earlier, a single grain type was used to produce snack pellets, due to which the nutritional value of products was limited. Currently, the consumer demand for multigrain snack pellets remains high due to its high-fiber content. With low-fat content, multigrain snack pellets offer various health and taste benefits, as compared to potato- and corn-based snack pellets. Grains such as wheat is mostly used with other types for snack pellets.
The gelatinized segment is projected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
On the basis of form, the snack pellets market is segmented into laminated, die-face, tridimensional, and gelatinized. Gelatinized pellets are uniform in thickness; and are generally flat, with holes on the surface. The thickness is essential for the maintenance of shape definition upon frying or toasting. Gelatinized pellets can be produced by using a specially designed high-speed rotary cutting machine, which sequentially and synchronously punches the holes and cuts the sheet into the desired shape. Hence, the gelatinized form of snack pellets in the food industry is witnessing growth.
The single screw extruder segment is expected to account for the largest share in the snack pellets market in 2018”.
On the basis of technique, the snack pellets market is dominated by the single-screw extruder segment. Single-screw extruders are comparatively easy to operate and maintain. Moreover, there are various types of single extruders offered by leading players in the market; these extruders are effective and capable of producing complex extruded snack food products. A single-screw extruder uses one screw in the barrel of the extruder to transport and shape multiple ingredients by forcing the ingredient mix through a shaped die to produce a uniform shape.
North America is projected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
North America is projected to dominate the snack pellets market throughout the forecast period. Due to the abundant availability of raw materials and the presence of a strong food processing industry, North America holds the largest share of the snack pellets market, in terms of both volume and value. Additionally, snacks made from potato are highly preferred by consumers. These factors are responsible for the largest share of potato-based snack pellets in the region.
Market Dynamics
Rise in demand for prepared and convenient foods is driving market growth.
The snack pellets market is primarily driven by the growth of the processed food industry. The changes in lifestyles and high disposable incomes of the population have led to an increased demand for ready-to-eat food products, as they help save time and efforts. In addition to this, the demand for processed food and an increase in the trend of snacking between meals are also fueling the demand for extruded food products. Children and young adults require fillers in between their meals. Snacks act as alternatives to such fillers and are hence widely preferred. Being easy to consume and buy, consumers are increasing their purchase of snacks. Hence, snack manufacturers are demanding more and varied snack pellets to increase their production and meet the rising demand of snack pellets. The rise in per capita income and the trend of snacking between meals are fueling the demand for snack pellets. Consumer preferences in emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, and the Middle East have gradually transitioned from traditional home-made breakfasts and snacking meals to ready-to-eat products over the last couple of decades.
High acrylamide content in snack foods is restraining growth of the market.
Snack pellets are further processed for consumption by frying or through the hot air expansion process. A critical issue faced by the snack pellets industry is the formation of acrylamide during frying. The asparagine and glucose present in the food form acrylamide when reacted in temperatures above 248°F. Acrylamide, when consumed in excess, can be carcinogenic and also affects the taste of the snack pellets. The presence of acrylamide has negatively impacted the growth of potato-based snack pellets. Thus, to decrease the acrylamide levels in potato-based snack pellets, frying at a controlled thermal input, vacuum condition, and flash frying ought to be implemented by the manufacturers. In recent years, companies such as Novozymes A/S (Denmark) have introduced enzymes that help in reducing the content of acrylamide and mask the insipid flavor. Another food player, J.R. Simplot Company (US), developed genetically modified (GM) potato varieties classified as Innate Generation 1 and Innate Generation 2, in 2014. The potato variety, Innate Generation 1, received safety approval in 2015, while the Innate Generation 2 received approval in 2017 from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These potato varieties offer various benefits to the potato industry for key issues such as acrylamide formation in snack pellets, along with late blight disease, black spot bruising, sprouting, and shrinkage or loss of weight during storage. Hence, these potato varieties developed by the company contain less asparagine, which helps in the reduction of acrylamide formation at high temperatures. However, consumer perception of snack pellets having carcinogenic components restrains the market growth.
Government initiatives and investments to expand the processed and extruded food sectors will provide growth opportunity.
The demand for extruded snacks is expected to rise in emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, and Russia, due to increasing consumer preference toward ready-to-eat food products. To tap these markets, snack manufacturers are increasing their production, due to which the requirement for food extruders is increasing in the region. Globally, the demand for extruded snacks is increasing. This is encouraging snack pellet manufacturers to expand and improve their production facilities. In Europe, high demand is witnessed for processed snack products. The European Snacks Association (ESA) has supported the markets for snacks and snack pellets by bringing together various stakeholders associated with the snacks industry. The association arranges various trade shows, conferences, and publishes technical insights for promoting trade by sharing knowledge. The ESA takes the responsibility to inform the members of the current and emerging trends of the association. Also, the North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers provides all the support in terms of technical expertise and other guidance to set up, expand, or upgrade businesses. Such initiatives by governments are helping snack pellet manufacturers to expand their business, hence creating an opportunity for the growth of the snack pellet market.
Operational complexity during food processing is a major challenge for the snack pellets market.
The viscosity, screw speed, temperature, and pressure, along with the complexity of the mathematical descriptions of the process, are closely inter-related. These dynamics present a challenge for accurate dynamic modeling of the extrusion process. Also, there are several load variables for viscosity regulations, depending on the choice of the manipulation variable, which may present disturbances. Extra caution needs to be taken while processing functional products, as there may be a loss of nutrients of the ingredients during processing. Such factors are the major challenges in snack pellets processing, and hence, can hinder the growth of the overall snack pellets market.
