Excessive Snacking Resulting from Increasingly Hectic Lifestyle Fuels Demand
Fast-paced lifestyle of consumers across the globe leaves little scope for traditional three course meal with families. This is attributable to increasing industrialization and rapid urbanization. Frequent-snacking has struck consumers hard. It is no surprise that a majority of them involuntarily turn to round-the-clock snacking to gratify hunger. This did provide an opportunity for manufacturers to rejoice but did not carry good news for consumers. Their snacking habit, in addition to unhealthy lifestyle, amplified the prevalence of various chronic ailments such as cardiovascular disorders and diabetes. While it is difficult to tone down fast-pace life, consumers nowadays have become more conscious about their health and wellness. Therefore, the demand for plant-based snacks is evidently high. In general, there is willingness among consumers to spend on snacks that are nutritious and contain natural ingredients.
Increasing Food Safety Concerns Tips Scale in Favour of Healthier Plant-based Snacks

Consumers around the world have become more sympathetic and sensitive towards animals. The conditions in which they are raised and harvested are not necessarily compassionate. Increasing focus on animal welfare is one of the primary factors swaying customers away from animal-based products to plant-based alternative. For instance, cows often undergo genetic manipulations and are administered with bovine growth hormones so that they produce a certain volume of milk every year. News about atrocities on animals is spreading like wildfire. As a result an increasing number of consumers globally are opting for plant-based snacks instead of dairy products.
