Outlook of the cookies market in the US
The increasing number of Americans are shifting towards healthier alternatives when it comes to food consumption, thanks to the growing concerns over obesity, poor diet and other health issues. Consequently, the increasing number of vendors are working on consumers’ concerns by introducing more nutrient-based products. By including natural ingredients like grain, whole wheat, etc., vendors are taking necessary steps towards making their products more appealing among consumers. The market is expected to witness a decreasing growth rate, and this study predicts it to reach around 2500 million pounds in terms of volumes, by 2019.
The rising cost of raw materials such as sugar poses yet another challenge that directly impacts the cost of the production of cookies. While vendors look to overcome these issues, they are keen to leverage the growing demand for breakfast ingredients and convenient food in the US.

Market segmentation of the cookies market in the US by distribution channels
- Supermarkets and hypermarkets
- Specialist stores
- Independent retailers
- Convenience stores
- Online retailers
- Others
With a share of over three-fourths of the total market size, the supermarkets and hypermarkets segment is the leading distribution channels for the US cookie market. The specialty store segment is the next major channel; it offers many brands of a particular cookie manufacturing company under one roof. Online distribution is another trend in the market, which is gaining popularity among private labels and small cookie manufacturers.
Key driver: Renewed efforts in product offerings
Even though the US market is on the verge of saturation, vendors continue to increase visibility through sustained marketing initiates. Its continued growth is on account of numerous product offerings launched by the many vendors in the market.
Vendors are investing in introducing new product categories into the market. For instance, Oreo came up with a completely new category of bacon biscuits, and similarly, Belvita launched an entirely new product category of bacon biscuits that have since gained in popularity. Such innovations are playing an instrumental role in elevating their brand appeal among consumers.
