This report provides comprehensive and current information and analysis of the US Snacking Motivations and Attitudes market including snacks market size, anticipated market forecast, relevant market segmentation, and industry trends for the Snacking Motivations and Attitudes market in the US.
Most Americans snack multiple times a day, and snacking frequency is likely to continue to tick up, a trend not impacted significantly by the pandemic. The motivations for snacking also continue to shift, driven by a new generation of snackers that views snacking as more than just a treat or indulgence.
There is ample opportunity for healthier, more nutrient dense snacks and for non-snack foods to be recast as snacks. But in spite of the shift toward healthier and more functional snacking, snackers still want to enjoy their snacks, making great tastes and textures as important as ever.

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.
By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.
For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.
They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.
Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.
It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
From consumer reports to customised growth strategies. We have an option to suit your business requirements.
