Consumer Shifts and Forces Reshaping the Biscuit Industry
Biscuits have become an important part of the global packaged-food and snacking industry because of their affordability, convenience, long shelf life, and wide range of flavors. Consumer preferences are increasingly moving toward low-calorie, sugar-free, multigrain, whole-grain, oat, high-fiber, vegan, gluten-free, and functional biscuits.
Health and wellness trends are encouraging manufacturers to reformulate products using natural ingredients, whole grains, functional nutrients, and clean-label formulations.
