Key Trends

Improvements in clean labeling and packaging of cookies is the primary trend shaping market growth. Consumers are greatly pursuing cookies made with clean and recognizable ingredients. Manufacturers are reacting by using simpler ingredient lists that exclude artificial additives, preservatives, and high-fructose corn syrup. Manufacturers are delivering clear allergen information on packaging to provide consumer safety. Improved packaging provides clear nutritional information, including calorie counts, macronutrient profiles, and daily values.

Moreover, marketing and advertising efforts align with clean labeling and transparent packaging. Manufacturers communicate their commitment to quality and natural ingredients through marketing campaigns. Thus, the improvements in clean labeling and packaging will boost the market growth and trends in focus during the forecast period.

Major Challenge 

Competition from healthier snacks is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. Health-conscious buyers are mainly aiming for snack choices that align with their dietary and wellness goals. They are often looking for snacks that are lower in added sugars, saturated fats, and artificial additives, which are common in many traditional cookies. In addition, healthier snacks like granola bars, fruit snacks, and yogurt offer these nutrients, which are often lacking in traditional cookies. 

Moreover, healthier snacks are often perceived as providing more nutritional value than cookies. Healthier snacks often carry health claims or certifications, such as low in sugar, high in fiber, or gluten-free. These labels can attract health-conscious consumers and boost sales. Thus, the competition for healthier snacks will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
