Camping is a great way for consumers to unplug from daily routines and enjoy the simplicity of nature. To do so, people are increasingly turning to snacks that sustain energy and satiate their appetites while they explore the great outdoors.
It should be no surprise then that the healthy snacks market is expected to reach $152.5 billion by 2030, according to new trends report by Grand View Research. Of particular note is consumer demand for on-the-go, low-calorie, nutrient-dense snacks with ample vitamin and protein content.
