Analyst Opinion

The Snack Food Market in Israel, specifically the Confectionery & Snacks Market within The Food market, has seen minimal growth due to factors such as changing consumer preferences, increasing health consciousness, and the availability of healthier snacking options. This is evident in the sub-markets of Tortilla Chips, Flips & Pretzels, Potato Chips, and Cookies & Crackers, where there has been a shift towards healthier options. However, the convenience and variety offered by online shopping may help drive future growth in this market.
