Meanwhile, enhancements in
packaging formats and broader online and offline distribution networks are
expanding reach across various markets. Innovative, consumer-friendly
packaging-such as resealable pouches, portion-controlled packs, and
eco-friendly materials- is improving product appeal and shelf visibility. At
the same time, the growth of omnichannel strategies, including partnerships
with major e-commerce platforms, retail chains, specialty health stores, and
convenience outlets, is ensuring that products are accessible to a wider
audience. These improvements not only support brand visibility but also allow
companies to target diverse demographic groups with greater efficiency. By
aligning packaging innovation with evolving consumer preferences and leveraging
a multi-channel retail footprint, manufacturers can build a stronger market
presence and drive repeat purchases in both developed and emerging regions.

In 2024, a
chocolate-flavored segment in the cookie and wafer market generated USD 10.5
billion and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% through 2034. Chocolate
continues to hold universal appeal with its emotional and indulgent value
across all price ranges and demographics. The segment benefits from innovations
in chocolate fillings, coatings, and hybrid combinations with milk, dark, and
white variants dominating product portfolios globally. The chocolate flavor's
ability to blend seamlessly into both modern and classic snacking preferences
sustains its leadership.

The pouches segment captured
a 24.2% share in 2024, generating USD 6.2 billion, and is expected to grow at a
6.5% CAGR during 2025-2034. Pouches are favored for their lightweight design,
portability, and extended shelf life, making them a top choice for on-the-go
snacking. Consumers are increasingly drawn to resealable and stand-up pouch
formats that offer convenience, portion control, and easy storage. From a
manufacturing standpoint, pouches are not only cost-efficient but also align
with sustainability efforts, enhancing their value proposition in the packaging
space.
