Market Competition and Expansion:
The Snack Food industry is a $42.6 billion market. The Company is well positioned as the trends point to consumers continuing to demand healthy versions of existing snacks. The emergence of artisanal goods, which are made with a higher degree of craftsmanship and command higher prices, has boosted revenue. Overall, industry revenue has increased an annualized 1.7% to $46.9 billion over the five years to 2019. Furthermore, shifting food consumption trends have affected the strategies of snack food producers during the current period. Specifically, health concerns about eating foods high in sodium, fat and sugar have made consumers wary of buying traditional snacks. While this has limited industry revenue and profit expansion over the past five years, it has also developed a niche market in the industry. Producers have introduced new varieties of existing products, such as reduced-fat and reduced-sodium brand extensions and new gluten-free and organic products, leading industry revenue to rise 2.3% in 2019 alone. Demand for nuts and seeds has also grown over the past five years.
Significant opportunity for growth by expanding the grocery store business across the other chains, other specialty brands, and co-packing opportunities. This could be achieved with a greater focus on website rankings, participation in the Private Label Manufacturer's Association, and co-packer partnerships.
