Snacking habits of consumers are becoming more sophisticated, and they frequently seek functional benefits. This trend eventually resulted in an increase in demand for specialty snacks such as meat snacks, which are quick food products made from various meats such as beef, turkey, and pork. Furthermore, consumers are looking for high-protein snacks and traditional meat items that have been reinvented with more complex flavor combinations and formulations for a natural product image. In addition, introducing less-common protein sources such as turkey, seafood, and game meats, as well as expanding offerings in the refrigerated case through power packs, bars, and deli bites, is giving the category a new push and creating more snack occasions.

Consumers aged 34 and under are more likely than their elders to prioritize protein in their diets, which is a major driver of the jerky snack category. This, combined with their increasing snacking proclivity, has greatly expanded the potential of the protein snack segment. Such snacks also benefit from perceived nutritional advantages over traditional corn and potato chips, as well as their relative uniqueness, which appeals to younger customers seeking new and unusual consuming experiences.

North America dominated the jerky snack market in 2019, accounting for 50.0% of the revenue share. According to the Simmons National Consumer Survey (NHCS) and the US Census, approximately 50.0% of the US population, or nearly 160 million people, consume meat snacks and beef jerky on a regular basis. Jerky is one of the most popular meat appetizers in the United States. Furthermore, the majority of the adult population in the United States consumes snacks at least once per day. This country has the world's largest snack market.
