This market research report analyzes the leading vendors in the global oat-based snacks market such as General Mills, Kellogg, Mondelēz International, Nairn’s Oatcakes, and Quaker Oats Company. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by product categories (oat-based bakery and bars and oat-based savory market), by distribution channel (hypermarkets and supermarkets, independent retailers, convenience stores, and others) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, Europe, and MEA).
Overview of the oat-based snacks market
According to the market research analysts at Technavio, the global oat-based snacks market is anticipated to witness steady growth and will post a CAGR of close to 4% during the forecast period. The augmented demand for gluten-free products is one of the significant factors driving this market’s growth. Gluten is form of protein, which is pre-dominantly found in cereals like barley, wheat, and rye that are used in making bread and bakery products. Gluten gives pliability to the dough and helps to keep the form. However, it may cause inflammation in the small intestine and result in celiac diseases, where it becomes difficult for the body to absorb the nutrients and makes the body weak. This has led to many people increasingly opting for organic and gluten-free food products. Therefore, the majority of manufacturers these days are focussing more on gluten-free products to capture the market share by meeting consumer taste and preferences. For example, General Mills announced its plan to produce gluten-free Cheerios (a cereal brand) by removing the traces of rye, wheat, and barley that generally come into contact during the transportation of oat.
In terms of geography, Europe was the highest revenue contributor in the global oat-based snacks market during 2016 and will continue to lead the market in the coming years. The proliferation of this market in Europe is attributed to factors such as hectic lifestyles and on-the-go consumption, as well as the growing popularity of oat-based bars, biscuits, and snacks. Moreover, an increasing number of individuals in the region are opting for healthy eating. An aging population and increasing focus on leading a healthy lifestyle has become very vital to the European consumers, which will boost the sales for oat-based snacks like high-fiber oat biscuits in the coming years.
