India's snacking landscape has undergone significant changes, driven by the preferences of Gen Y and Gen Z consumers. Let's delve into the evolving snacking habits and explore how brands can create products that resonate with this younger target audience.
 

Unpacking the Urban Crunch

Gone are the days of elaborate home-cooked meals for every snack break. Today's urban consumers crave:
 

1. Convenience: Urban consumers now seek snacks that are easy to grab and consume on the go. Extended shelf life and minimal preparation are key factors.

 

2. Health Consciousness: Nutritional value matters. Snack bars, fruit and nut mixes, and minimally processed options are gaining popularity.

 

3. Flavor Innovation:Taste remains crucial. Consumers crave exciting flavor profiles, unique ingredient combinations, and a fusion of global and local influences.

 

4. Portion Control: Busy lifestyles lead to hurried meals. Single-serving portions or smaller snack packs cater to mindful consumption.
