The global healthy fruit and vegetable chips market size was valued at USD 15.18 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 27.79 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2026 to 2033. Rising awareness of obesity, diabetes, and other lifestyle-related conditions has made people reconsider their everyday snacking choices.
As snacking has become a daily behavior rather than an occasional indulgence, consumers increasingly prefer options that feel lighter, more nutritious, and aligned with their wellness goals. Fruit- and vegetable-based snacks, especially those that are baked, dehydrated, or air-fried, offer a way to enjoy familiar textures and flavors without the guilt associated with conventional chips.
A major driver behind this trend is the strong preference for clean-label and simple-ingredient products. Consumers are carefully evaluating packaging for calorie counts, added sugars, salt levels, preservatives, and oil types. Products with short, natural ingredient lists and transparent claims such as "no added sugar," "no artificial flavors," "no preservatives," or "made from whole fruits/vegetables" are increasingly favored. The growing avoidance of palm oil and highly processed ingredients further strengthens the appeal of healthier alternatives. Many fruit and vegetable snacks are marketed as palm-oil free or made with healthier oils, which resonates strongly with health-conscious buyers.
The expansion is driven by shifting taste preferences of the consumer and the adoption of healthy products instead of deep-fried ones. Inclination towards functional and sustainable ready-to-eat snacks, in consort with health awareness among customers, is augmenting the industry outlook. Survey data from Mondelez's 2024 State of Snacking report show that about 60% of global consumers now prefer to eat snacks or smaller meals more frequently instead of traditional large meals, and around 88-94% report snacking at least once a day, with Gen Z and Millennials leading this behavior. Consumers are also becoming more mindful: roughly two thirds say they actively seek portion controlled snacks, indicating that while snacking frequency is high, people are trying to manage portions and nutrition rather than cut back on snacks themselves. Furthermore, the market is expected to witness significant growth owing to factors such as the availability of a wider range of products, tortilla chips, bean chips, corn chips, and others through various sales channels.
Younger consumers, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, are reinforcing this shift. These groups are more inclined toward plant-based eating, sustainability, and functional foods that contribute to overall well-being. Their reliance on social media for nutrition inspiration accelerates trends toward healthier snacking, as wellness influencers and diet-focused content highlight the benefits of natural, plant-derived snacks. Convenience also plays a key role in single-serve fruit and vegetable snacks that fit well into busy, on-the-go lifestyles and provide a portion-controlled option for school, work, and travel.
