Dietary preferences across the globe are changing at a pace much faster than ever before. With the high-paced lifestyles, there is a growing dependency on packaged food or snacks for nutritional requirements. Manufacturers of these snacks, mainly corn puffs, chips, nuts, and seeds, have to overhaul their existing equipment to cater to the huge public demand. This has brought forth huge demand for snack processing equipment.
As per a report by Snack Processing Equipment Market by Meticulous Research, the snacks processing equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6 percent from 2022–2029 to reach $1.8 billion by 2029. The research further states that ‘the snack processing equipment market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for snack food, innovations in snack food equipment, and the growing trend of healthy snacking’. Innovative manufacturers are vying to claim their market share, but Zirve International has already made long strides.
