Snack Bars are Healthy Alternatives Due to change in life style and increase in disposable income, both of which result in increasing the inclination of customers toward new healthy and quick snacking options, AsiaPacific is considered to be the fastest growing market for snack bars. Yet, in many regions, it is still considered a niche product. In addition, less awareness of the product decreases its buying capacity. However, with the changing scenario and increasing western influence, share of the snack bar industry in AsiaPacific is bound to increase by the end of the forecast period. Many popular snack foods, such as chips, candy, and snack mixes are high in calories, fat, and excess sugar. Snack bars are healthy alternatives that are convenient to grab on the go, in addition to being nutrient dense, providing vitamins, minerals, and energy to the body. Convenient Snacking is the New Trend Australia, India, Japan, and China are the major regions of AsiaPacific in the snack bar market, where snack bars are considered as the most convenient snacking items. In Australia, the snack bar market is witnessing a shift toward more wholesome product offerings, as consumers have become increasingly concerned about the negative health aspects associated with conventional snack bars. There is a significant demand for natural healthy snacks, such as granola/muesli bars, as they are perceived as being a more natural alternative traditional snack bars. In Japan, the convenience of snack bars meets the needs of an increasing number of Japanese consumers who lead busy lifestyles, and are looking for quick solutions for their diets. Snack bars continued to have low sales only in China, mainly due to limited product awareness. However, China is expected to witness exponential growth in the future. The concept of snack bars is still relatively new in India, as consumers do not purchase these for breakfast purposes, but rather as a healthier version of a chocolate bar. As cereal bars contain nutrients like proteins and fiber, the rise in health consciousness among the consumers supports the growth of snack bar market in AsiaPacific as a whole.
