Product: Rising preference for dietary biscuits among health-conscious customers

Dietary biscuits are designed to meet specific dietary requirements or preferences, such as low-sugar, gluten-free, or high-fiber options, accommodating health-conscious consumers. Consumers seeking healthier snack options or those with dietary restrictions are the primary market for these biscuits. Functional Biscuits include products fortified with vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other supplements to offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition. This segment caters to consumers looking for snacks that satisfy hunger and contribute to their overall health and well-being. Savory biscuits are designed as snacks with non-sweet flavors. These may include cheese, herbs, and spices and incorporate meats or vegetable bits for enhanced flavor profiles. These biscuits are preferred by consumers looking for an alternative to sweet snacks, offering a variety of flavors and ingredients. Sweet biscuits encompass a broad category of biscuits that are primarily flavored with sugar, chocolate, fruit, or other sweet ingredients. This segment targets the broadest consumer base, appealing to all age groups with a variety of flavors, textures, and forms.

Distribution Channel: Growing trend of convenience and discovery shopping of biscuits in online channels

Convenience stores are preferred for impulse purchases and immediate consumption needs. These outlets are ideal for commuters and individuals seeking quick snacks. The preference for online retail has surged, mainly due to its convenience, variety, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Customers value the ability to discover new and exotic biscuit varieties from around the world. Consumers visiting specialty stores often look for high-end, organic, or niche biscuit varieties not commonly found in other retail formats. These stores cater to a more discerning customer base. Supermarkets and hypermarkets are preferred for regular and bulk purchases, offering a wide variety of brands and types all in one place. These channels cater to the everyday needs of the majority of consumers.
