For the fifth year in a row, global consumers expressed a preference for snacking over traditional meals, with six in 10 consumers saying they’d rather eat several small meals throughout the day than a few large ones, according to the nclick="javascript:window.open('https://www.mondelezinternational.com/stateofsnacking/', '_blank', 'noopener'); return false;">fifth annual State of Snacking report from Mondelēz International. Nearly nine in 10 (88%) consumers snack daily.

Despite rising prices, snacks continue to be an area wher consumers find joy. Most consumers (66%) haven’t made significant changes to how much they spend on snacks. But they’re making efforts to enjoy their snacks more, savoring the taste, flavor, and texture (85%) or eating snacks during special moments or times of the day (75%).

  • Consumers turn to snacks for energy boosts (75%), mood improvement (74%), and to support fitness goals (70%). 
  • Most consumers (63%) look for snacks that help minimize their environmental impact,
  • Nearly seven in 10 (67%) prioritize snacks with less plastic packaging, and the percentage of consumers who recycle their snack packaging (74%) has increased 3% from last year.
