Extruded snack food comprises breakfast cereals, corn curls, onion rings, pasta, fish paste, jellybeans and macaroni, which is prepared using corn, tapioca, oats, potatoes, and wheat. It relies on extrusion cooking, a high-temperature short-time (HTST) process that reduces microbial contamination and inactivates enzymes. At present, the growing popularity of ready-to-eat (RTE) snack food on account of its convenience, affordability, wide availability, appearance, taste, and texture is positively influencing the demand for extruded snack food across the globe.

Extruded Snack Food Market Trends:
Changing dietary habits among individuals around the world represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Moreover, longer working hours make it difficult for most people to have proper meals. As a result, they are increasingly relying on RTE food products, such as extruded snack food. In line with this, pasta and other extruded snack food products continue to be a part of the modern diet and consequently, their sales are growing worldwide. Nowadays, consumers prefer products that are gluten-free and contain grains, such as quinoa, amaranth, chia, teff, rice, and buckwheat. Apart from this, leading market players are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce innovative product variants, which are suitable for consumption among local and regional populations. They are also financing promotional campaigns on social media platforms to increase their overall sales. Other factors like increasing population and rising disposable income of individuals in developing countries are strengthening the growth of the market.
