Market Insight

Corn snacks have become an important part of our diet and constitute one of the fastest-growing segments of the food industry. Particularly, the sales of corn chips, tortillas, and popcorns have grown enormously over the past years. Corn snacks are tasty and affordable food products that have a relatively low carb value as compared to other snacks. Corn snacks have gained immense popularity, especially among the growing health-conscious population. A tremendous transformation in the snack segment due to continuous urbanization, the growth of nuclear families, and the rapid rise in dual-income households have further boosted the demand for corn-snacks in the market. With the changing socio-economic pattern of life and the increasing number of working couples, corn snacks will become popular in the global market.

Corn is not a high-glycemic food, ranking low or medium on the glycemic index. Corn-based snacks contain a fair amount of fiber. 112 grams of popcorn has approximately 16 grams of fiber. It is also a decent source of protein, the protein content ranges from 10–15%. Roasted corn flakes are a rich source of fiber, nutrition, vitamin, and minerals, and are also low in cholesterol. Furthermore, they contain low fat and are easier to digest. Similarly, a 100 g serving of potato chips contains 6.56 g of protein but a whopping 36.4 g of fat. The same amount of tortilla chips contains 7.79 g of protein and 23.36 g of fat. Moreover, present consumers have also become increasingly conscious about their health and wellness. These nutritional benefits offered by corn-based snacks when compared to potato snacks drive its adoption among the health-conscious population.

The corn-snacks market is projected to follow a positive growth trajectory as increase in snacking is one of the observed changes in actual purchase and consumption behavior among the consumers due to COVID-19 lockdowns and work-from-home transitions. Corn snacks, particularly, tortilla chips have been on a growth trajectory. As the pandemic drove consumers to salty snacks, tortilla chips were among the highly desired snacks. However, as a negative consequence of the Covid-19 outbreak, several medium scale companies reduced the production capacity due to the shortage of laborers in the midst of a slowdown and health concerns. However, as the lockdown measures eased, the industry has gained stability in terms of production.

However, corn-snack foods compete against other “impulse” food items, including chocolate, cookies, and crackers, baked goods, fruits, and vegetables, and fast food, which makes the competition very intense. In addition, protein-rich snacks are gaining prominence, such as jerky products, nut butter, nuts, and seeds, and plant protein-based snacks. Moreover, high-protein nutrition bars are also hitting the market. Also, other plant-based proteins are continuing to gain traction across the snack aisle, which in turn, increases the availability of other substitutes in the market. In addition, continual interest in carb alternatives will harm the market of corn snacks. Moreover, innovations in corn-based snacks and the emergence of online delivery services provide a significant growth opportunity for the market.

North America regions dominance in the global corn snacks market is attributed to factors such as high disposable income and rapid expansions of modern trade that have significantly influenced the growth of the corn snacks market in the region.
