The pandemic with its lockdown and change in schedule led to a net increase in the snacking opportunities which in turn translate to an increase in consumption for the category.

Almost 9 in 10 global adults (88 percent) say they are snacking more (46 percent) or the same (42 percent) during the pandemic, says The 2020 State of Snacking Report by Mondelz International and The Harris Poll.

The need to eat healthy food, environmental concerns, convenience, affordability and at the same time trying out something unique are the factors that would drive the growth of the snacking industry in 2020.
