The global fruit snacks market has been driven by the rising demand for healthier foods among millennial health-conscious consumers worldwide. Customers have been choosing healthy snacks for intake between meals, and occasionally as meals. Additionally, due to consumers' busy lifestyles and growing desire for convenience food products, it is anticipated that over the coming few years, sales of ready-to-eat healthy foods will rise significantly.

All age groups, including children, millennials, and members of Generation X, are becoming more interested in eating meals made of vegetables and fruits because they are nutritious without sacrificing flavor or texture. Additionally, the growing consumer class's purchase power enables them to choose expensive and exotic goods. Consequently, there has been an increase in demand over time for products that make promises about their health, such as being organic and non-GMO, as well as having exotic tropical flavors.

In order to meet the growing demand, the industry's makers have also been introducing new products that include various fruit forms, such as frozen-dried pieces, pastes, powders, and juice drops. For consumers with busy schedules, these products offer a decent source of vitamins and minerals in a ready-to-eat format. Even after processing, the product's freeze-dried version can restore the majority of its nutritional and natural qualities. It has been demonstrated that healthy snacks made of fruits and vegetables are associated with improved mental health, as per a study on the advantages of a healthy snack (Fruit) versus a bad snack, a study by Andrew P. Smith and Rosannagh Rogers. These nutritious eating practices may help to lessen mental distress, fatigue, and depression. The demand for fruit snacks is anticipated to rise in the coming years due to the increasing number of consumers with poor mental wellbeing.
