Press Release

Product Innovation in Salted Snacks Propels Market to $18.8 billion in 2001

New York, May 15/PRNewswire - Pushed largely by a growing trend of product innovation, the market for salted snacks in the United States has grown at an annual rate of over 7% since 1997. According to The U.S. Market for Salted Snacks, a newly published Packaged Facts report available at MarketResearch.com, marketers are credited with keeping the salted snack market growing through product reinvention -- tweaking existing products with new flavors, shapes and textures to reignite consumer interest.

“The continued growth of the salted snack market is absolutely dependent on product innovation,” said Don Montuori, Acquisition Editor for Packaged Facts. “New developments are keeping customers interested in an old and familiar market that otherwise would have very flat sales numbers.”

Packaging trends, including convenience size products, are also serving to energize a flagging market. Americans are far more time-pressed today than they have been in the past, and the current popularity of conveniently packaged foods attests to the ways in which this time crunch has altered dietary habits. Packages that allow consumers to eat on the go, such as snack-sized bags and resealable containers, are changing snacking from an occasional event to a standard part of American culture. The U.S. Market for Salted Snacks reports that afternoon snacking is now almost a fourth meal for consumers who have a longer day than ever before.

The U.S. Market for Salted Snacks provides detailed information about consumer demographics, as well as distribution and marketing trends, product development, and emerging promotional campaigns. The report also includes historical sales data, as well as market projections through the year 2005.
