Vegetables crisps (e.g. based on radishes, parsnips, carrots, beets, etc.)
The global Crisp market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% between 2019 to 2024. Demand is driven in part by a rising middle class in Emerging Markets copying food trends from Developed Economies. In the UK, the Potato Crisp & Snack market grew by 4% annually between 2015 to 2020. The UK crisp market is highly fragmented; there are a wide range of brands available. Nevertheless, more known brands are still preferred to consumers. Thus, the industries spending on advertisement has been crucial. [AHDB] The three largest companies are McCain Foods, KP Snacks, and Walkers Snack. Demand is strongly driven by healthy alternatives to crisps; to not lose out, traditional potato crisps need continuous innovation, such as baking crisps instead of frying.
