Snacks and Confectionary Trends in Europe
Many aspects of consumer life are changing at an accelerating pace as a result of the pandemic that has transformed the industry and consumer purchasing behavior. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to be aware of the current trends affecting the snacking world. Euromonitor will highlight these trends with a focus on the European market and what they mean for snack food manufacturers. With health at the forefront, many consumers are turning to special diets, functional foods, and reducing sugar. On the other hand, people are spending more time at home, shopping from the couch. Snack manufacturers have to adapt to the changes in order not to be left behind.
