Salty Snacks: U.S. Market Trends and Opportunities

Special offer: now 20% off original full report price

In recent years, some consumers have moved away from the traditional three meals per day and shifted into a lifestyle involving increased snacking, or multiple smaller meals, throughout the day. Contributing to the ubiquitous consumption of salty snacks, these products are readily available in vending machines and grab-and-go retail outlets such as convenience stores and gas stations. In grocery stores, snacks are often featured in locations conducive to impulse purchases, such as checkout lanes.These factors, coupled with a steadily rising population, confer stability to the US market for salty snacks.

US producers benefit from limited competition by foreign firms inmost categories, due to food safety concerns. At the same time, US snack food manufacturers have been able to expand their global presence, bolstered by strong brand identities and a reputation for quality among many international consumers. While product prices may rise along with costs for ingredients(e.g., wheat, soybean oil) and other inputs (e.g., fuel, labor), snacks are generally considered “affordable luxury items”—a perception among consumers that helps snack producers avoid severe cyclical fluctuations. Facing difficult economic circumstances, many consumers trade down to less expensive products, such as private-label brands, rather than eschewing this category of food altogether.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
