Growing preference for ready-to-eat snacks is notably driving the market growth. Changes in the lifestyles of consumers across the US and the growing demand for ready-to-eat snacks among the working population are raising the demand for packaged snacks. The on-the-go nature of ready-to-eat snacks, including packaged rice snacks, caters to individuals looking for quick and easy alternatives to traditional meals. The packaging formats, often single-serving or resealable pouches, enhance the convenience factor, allowing consumers to satisfy their snack cravings without the need for preparation or additional utensils.
As a result, the rising awareness among people related to snacking by making a shift in choices, growing demand for eatables that can be easily digested and are low in calories, and increasing demand for on-the-go tasty snacks are the major factors driving the demand for packaged rice snacks. Thus, the growing preference for ready-to-eat snacks is expected to drive the market trends and analysis of the market during the forecast period.
Expansion of retail and online distribution landscape is an emerging trend shaping the market development. Packaged rice snacks are gaining popularity owing to their health benefits. This is encouraging vendors to increase their production and distribution across the US. Distributors play an important role in the supply chain of all kinds of food products, including packaged rice snacks. Distributors offer branded as well as local packaged rice snacks. Supermarkets and hypermarkets are the preferred channels for purchasing packaged food products, as they are convenient and cost-effective.
In addition, several online platforms, such as Amazon, Walmart, and Giant of Maryland LLC, sell a comprehensive range of packaged rice snacks. The discounts and offers provided by online retailers also attract customers. Moreover, the ease of purchasing products, home delivery options, and the availability of safe payment options are the major factors boosting the sales of packaged rice snacks through online as well as local retail channels. This, in turn, is expected to increase opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
High competition from other packaged snacks is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The rise in competition from other snack products such as cereal bars, dried fruit snacks, meat snacks, and frozen yogurt may negatively impact the growth of the packaged rice snacks market in the US. Some consumers prefer snacks containing buckwheat and popcorn instead of rice snacks. In addition, the low consumption of rice and rice-based food products in the US, excluding the Asian population, adversely affects the consumption of packaged rice snacks in the country. .
Moreover, the companies engaged in the production of other snack products are focusing on adding new flavors and colors to enhance the aesthetic look of the snacks to cater to the changing taste preferences of consumers, thereby increasing the purchase intent. Hence, constant innovations are expected to increase the uptake of alternative snacks, which, in turn, may hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Rice cakes are one of the most preferred snacks in the US. They are generally made of a wide variety of rice, including brown rice, white rice, red rice, and black rice. Rice cakes made of brown rice are the most popular, as they contain whole grains and offer several health benefits. They are considered suitable snacking alternatives to packaged junk food. The health benefits of rice cakes and various natural properties of rice, such as gluten-free, are increasing their demand in the US. In addition, the demand for organic variants of rice cakes is increasing, as they are free from harmful pesticides and insecticides and have perceived health benefits. Further, the increasing number of new product offerings and the emergence of organic varieties of rice cakes are expected to propel the growth of the market in the rice cakes segment during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the offline segment will be significant during the forecast period. The offline segment comprises hypermarkets, supermarkets, departmental stores, independent retailers, and convenience stores. Supermarkets, departmental stores, and hypermarkets are the most popular and preferred channels for the purchase of packaged rice snacks, as they provide a wide assortment of products under a single roof.
