Growth Factors in the Energy Bar Market:

• Rising Focus on Health and Fitness

The trend in health awareness all over the world is resulting in the development of strong increase in demand of energy bars. Consumers are on a hustle to find snacks that would assist them in their fitness programs, weight loss and general health. Recent data has shown that health benefits are the new frontier in foods purchased with almost 60 percent or as stated by NielsenIQ, global consumers prioritizing on these benefits. Given the demand of this customer segment for functionality and convenience, energy bars, which come packed with protein, fiber, and critical micronutrients are likely to resonate with them. This is more evident in the urban centers where one has a busy schedule and has limited time to cook. There is also increased awareness and credibility of such products due to fitness-pros, wellness apps, and wellness tracking platforms. Companies such as RXBAR and Clif Bar are taking advantage of this by making labels cleaner and formats more appropriate in a gym environment.

• Growth of Plant-Based Diets

The emergence of a vegan lifestyle is changing the energy bar market, creating new markets and appealing to the customers through eco-friendly principles. With additional customers switching to vegan or flexitarian eating regimens, companies are moving to cruelty-free, soy-free, and dairy-free products, with no shortage on protein or flavor. According to the data on The Good Food Institute, the sales of plant-based food are still surpassing the total grocery sales and energy bars are enjoying this trend. Such early movers as LÄRABAR, GoMacro and Orgain have launched plant-based SKUs, comprised of nuts, seeds, oats, and pea or rice protein. These bars do not only serve vegans but also those who have a nutrition limitation problem, such as lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance. Manufacturers are also being nudged towards sourcing and formulation by government sponsored movements towards sustainable agriculture and carbon labeling.

• Expansion of Retail Channels

It is due to the fact that the diversification of retail and the distribution channel has caused the explosion of the availability of energy bars around the globe. Whether it is grocery chains formed back in the day, in gyms, airports, or e-commerce websites, energy bars are available easily nowadays. Online stores such as Amazon, iHerb, and Thrive Market are particularly important, as they provide global brands with a platform to reach several nations at a small overhead cost. Similarly, in India as an example, startups such as yoga bar and whole truth have gained a lot of traction through D2C stores and social commerce. The chain stores or retail stores such as Walmart and Target have also grown in the size of their functional snacks section with specific shelf presence of protein and energy bars. Further, health snacks such as bars are also being introduced in the vending machines in corporate offices, train station, and the university environments to respond to the impulsive needs of the younger generations.

Key Trends in the Energy Bar Market:

• Customization and Functional Ingredients

A major change undergone in the market of energy bars concerns the necessity of specialized bars in terms of health purposes. Customers are not reaching out to any bar on a shelf but would prefer one that is more specific to their individual diet, training, or medical wrangle. It has to be keto-friendly or high-protein, low-sugar, and all sorts of things, depending on the order. And what the order is, is based on customization. Firms such as YouBar and Built Bar are taking advantage of the trend by rolling out made-to-order custom made bars. Premium SKUs are incorporating so-called functional ingredients: collagen to the skin, probiotics to the gut health, or caffeine to ensure a pre-workout energy boost. All the enhanced presence of better nutritional testing and health-monitoring apps contributes to the matter as well, as consumers become more data-intensive about their decisions.

• Sustainable and Ethical Sourcing

Sustainability is not anymore an added value rather an expectation. People are becoming more interested in the origins of ingredients, how they are produced, and which labor practices are engaged. Brands of energy bars respond to this by employing the use of ethically sourced nuts, fair-trade chocolate and recyclable or compostable packaging. To give an example, Kind Snacks has invested in regenerative almond production, and Clif Bar has included sustainability in its brand pillars with the applicability of zero-waste and carbon-neutral goals. There is even a small amount of companies that are emphasizing on upcycled ingredients, such as fruit pulp or spent grain in order to reduce food waste. These values help the brands to stand out in the competitive market. Also, considering that the government is enforcing stringent laws on single-use plastics and carbon emissions, sustainable practices can help brands remain on the front foot of success in long-term.

• Snacking as a Lifestyle

Snacking is no longer an indulgence that accompanies a meal, but it has become an established component of the daily diet of people. The trend is especially quick among the millennials and Gen Z generations that tend to trade the classical meal, switching it to more frequent, smaller eating events. The State of Snacking report published by Mondelez shows that close to 7 out of 10 global consumers have resorted to snacking at least once in a day as an alternative to regular meals. Given the directitiness and the portability of energy bars, this lifestyle suits the product magnificently. They can be used as a breakfast on the run, a mid-day snack to give you some boost, or before/after exercise. There is also a lot of innovation about mini-bars and variety packs to allow multiple snacking occasions. The tendency has contributed to making energy bars a daily food product, which has been attracting a wider audience than merely the athletic population. As snacking is becoming more and more accepted as a balanced diet, energy bars are hitting the prime as an intelligent, competitive decision.
