The grain has a moderate flavor and is tiny, spherical, and relatively soft. One of the easiest to digest and least allergic grains is millet. The need for a variety of healthy snacking options has increased due to rise in health concerns as well as changes in lifestyles and eating habits around the world. Snacking more frequently in place of meals and the desire for vegan and allergen-free snacks are two important trends driving the business. Niacin, which is abundant in millet, aids the body in controlling more than 400 enzyme reactions. Niacin is crucial for healthy skin and proper organ operation. Furthermore, it enhances digestion health and helps to regulate body sugar.

In addition, the surge in the adoption of millets as a power food source is anticipated to offer potential opportunities for the expansion of the millet snacks market. Power food provides quick energy and nutrients to the body either via a meal or in the form of a nutrition supplement. Millets contain high protein content that helps provide energy to the body. Breakfast cereals made from millet seeds can help provide enough energy for the whole day. However, lack of access to quality millet seeds is the biggest reason for low production of millet snacks considerably expected to hinder the growth of the millet snacks market during the forecast period. Furthermore, inadequate primary processing at the village level and a huge distance between production units to processing units have inflated the cost of processed millet products. Thus, such factors are hampering the growth of the market.
