The global oat-based snacks market size is expected to reach USD 29.12 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.4% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Changing dietary preferences and awareness regarding healthy eating habits are the key factors driving the growth. High nutritional properties of oats including high content of carbs, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants make them an effective snacking option, which in turn is projected to fuel the demand.
Oats help reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels and promote healthy weight loss and growth of good bacteria owing to the high antioxidant content. These health benefits encourage snack manufacturers to add healthy oat-based snacks in their product portfolio. In June 2017, Nestlé and General Mills entered into a joint venture in Germany. The company had a wide range of breakfast cereal bars with three variants, namely, crispy chocolate, almond, and pumpkin seeds focusing the young adult consumers looking for on-the-go and nutritious snacks. This product launch improved the product visibility.
