The "Snack Pellets Market by Type, Form, Technique, Flavor, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The snack pellets market is estimated to account for about 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 estimated 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.
Europe is projected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
The market is also segmented, on the basis of region, into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. Europe 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, Europe 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.
The key players identified in this market include Limagrain Crales Ingrdients (France), Liven S.A. (Spain), Grupo Michel (Mexico), Leng d'Or S.A. (Spain), Pellsnack-Products GmbH (Germany), J. R.
