Southeast Asia Savory Snacks Market Analysis
The Southeast Asia Savory Snacks Market size is estimated at USD 7.92 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 13.10 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.60% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The market studied is driven by increasing demand for convenience food products and an on-the-go trend for snacking options. Snack manufacturers in Southeast Asia are challenged by competitors coming up with traditional and new flavors. The most consumed snack type is nuts and seeds, consisting of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and trail mixes, among others, driven by the health-conscious population. Popcorn is the fastest-growing product type in the market, attributed to its presence in various leisure spots and the incorporation of various flavors and convenient packing.
In terms of processing methods, frying was the most used, owing to the ease of processing. However, extrusion methods are growing in popularity in the region due to the growing health concerns regarding frying. A significant trend across all markets is the smaller package sizes to encourage more frequent snacking by making it both convenient and easier to control portions. New extrusion methods bring more puffed, popped, dried, and crisped textures to salty snacks. Puffed and extruded snacks are experiencing a renaissance, providing more choices for consumers to choose from traditional, healthier, and even 'free-from' options, like gluten-free. Whole grains are getting in on the action, including specialty grains, like quinoa, whereas pulses, legumes, and vegetables also go into the mix of nutritional flours such as hemp. For instance, in February 2022, Thailand's Srinanaporn Marketing Public Company Limited (SNNP), the Jele, Lotus, and Bento maker, launched Lotus Drumstick with hemp seed flour and seaweed flavor. The new product was the snack in Thailand to come with hemp seeds which were available at 7-Eleven.
