Additionally, there is a growing trend towards locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients, reflecting consumers' desire for transparency and ethical consumption. Furthermore, the rise of e-commerce and online food delivery services has made it easier for consumers to access a wider variety of snacks, including international brands and niche products.
