Healthy Fruit And Vegetable Chips Market 2030: Innovating With Kale, Beetroot, And Beyond

The global healthy fruit and vegetable chips market was valued at USD 11.38 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 22.88 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2022 to 2030. The market is primarily driven by a growing consumer shift toward functional, convenient, and flavored ready-to-eat snacks.

According to an article published by Sosland Publishing Company in January 2022, nearly 80% of U.S. consumers are seeking snacks that support physical health. The rising popularity of healthier snacking habits and the acceleration of plant-based diets among health-conscious individuals are expected to further fuel market growth over the coming years.

The COVID-19 pandemic also had a positive impact on market performance. Changes in lifestyle, heightened health awareness, and growing interest in fruit- and vegetable-based snacks contributed to increased demand. Ready-to-eat, convenient, and nutritious snack options became more appealing to consumers. As reported by the National Library of Medicine in April 2021, snacking increased 18.9% to 45% among a significant portion of the population during lockdowns, creating strong opportunities for the food and beverage industry due to the long shelf life and broad availability of these products.

Rising health issues such as obesity and diabetes-largely tied to sedentary lifestyles-are also driving consumers toward healthier snack alternatives, including fruit and vegetable chips. Obesity remains a critical public health issue in the U.S., with the World Health Organization reporting in June 2021 that approximately 40% of adults in the country have obesity and another 32% are overweight. These trends are encouraging more consumers to adopt healthier snacking behaviors to maintain better weight and wellness outcomes.
