Since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, the retail market has been characterized by an increase in the amount of discounted and own-brand products. Savory Snacks, in general, are not considered essential items and therefore consumption patterns have been comparatively affected.

Key Market Issues
Nuts and Seeds are most popular among Tweens and Early Teens, Older Young Adults, and Pre-Mid-Lifers who view them has a healthy alternative to other snacks such as Potato Chips. Other age groups record similar percentages of consumers, but they eat Nuts and Seeds less often. Marketers should focus on increasing the consumption frequency of their products in these other age groups.

While similar percentages of males and females record Heavy and Medium frequency consumption of Popcorn, there are more female occasional consumers than male occasional consumers; 40% of females record Light frequency consumption, compared with only 29% of males. This highlights a key demographic for marketers to target.

Key Highlights
While Older Consumers are the most valuable age group in the Savory Snacks market in Germany with a 25% value share, this is achieved through sheer weight of numbers as they account for 33% of the population. While marketers may wish to target the largest consumer group in the country, they should beware their below average consumption.

Urban dwellers account for a proportionate share of the Meat Snacks market. This group has a 65% share of the market, accounting for 67% of the population and creating a clear consumer profile for marketers of these products to target.

While private label penetration is significant across all Savory Snacks categories in Germany, further growth may be limited by strong brands in most categories. However, the Pretzels category is highly fragmented, suggesting that retailers may be able to grow their share from their current penetration level of 40% of the volume of products distributed.
