Increasing demand for high-protein snacks and surging popularity of chicken-based meat snacks are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.

Since the past few years, the busy lifestyle and hectic work schedules have significantly increased the demand for convenience food. Regular meals are getting replaced with convenience food as it saves cooking time and still offers required nutrition. Nowadays, people seek functional benefits from all the food products they consume due to increased health and wellness concerns. They are progressively adopting healthier lifestyle due to rising prevalence of various diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiac disorders. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2021, by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity prevalence among adults aged 20 and above was 41.9% during 2017–2020. The growing consumption of junk and highly processed food coupled with the lack of physical activities has led to chronic health issues that need attention. As a result, consumers are altering their dietary habits and gravitating toward low-fat, low-calorie, high-protein, and flavored food products that can satiate taste buds and also serve nutritional requirements. With the rising preference of healthy and junk-free products, snacking habits of consumers are evolving substantially leading to the surging demand for meat snacks worldwide. Although, people enjoy snacking due to flexible consumption, the rising awareness toward health and fitness engage them in healthy dietary habits, which, in turn, drives the demand for protein-rich and largely flavored meat snacks. Being a good source of iron, creatine, vitamins, and minerals, meat snacks are highly suitable for people seeking high-protein and low-carb diet. Besides, consumers shifting rapidly toward high-protein diet post COVID-19 pandemic due to enhanced health consciousness, fuels the growth of North America meat snacks market.
