The global biscuits market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.26% to reach US$143.173 billion by 2025, from US$111.469 billion in 2019.

The rising trend of healthy snacking and the increasing per capita food consumption as well as the convenience which is imparted by the biscuits innovative packaging are the primary drivers for the global biscuits market growth during the forecast period.

The aforementioned has also emerged integral to competition among industry players which further allow them to focus on enhancing the efficacy of their entire value chain.

With regards to the APAC region, it should be noted that consumers of the emerging economies are proactively willing to move away from their known brands and experiment with regional flavors as well as the healthier options as exemplified by the launch of high-protein biscuits, addressing the need for more protein-based food and drink by companies like Hershey and United Biscuit.

The other health value benefit is that digestion which is being increasingly offered by digestive biscuits. This gradual shift in consumer preferences is also being captured by biscuit market players' tactful dissemination of information about their nutritional ingredients thereby increasing their brand visibility. Furthermore, as consumers are looking forward to less processed food, the players in the biscuit market are increasingly investing in the inclusion of natural ingredients.

Moreover, the aspects such as the increasing availability of disposable income due to the growing middle-income group along with expanding urban aspirations are fueling the premiumization of low-calorie indulgences that are increasingly being exemplified products with inclusions such as nuts, fruits and so on.

Whereas in certain established markets like those of the occident where the association of biscuit with tea and coffee has been inseverable for the consumers are less inclined to experiment and experience a new sensation and are more prone to settle for the most dependable products that they are aware of. This has also led to biscuit makers attempting to shift the consumers away from their regular preferences with out-of-the-box offerings as exemplified with Pladis' Flipz, launched in June 2019 which is milk and dark chocolate pretzels designed to capitalize on the growing appetite for sweet and savory combinations.
