Chip purchase
purchases are nearly universal with 94% of respondents to a 2019 Mintel survey saying they bought
chips in the past year. Consumers gravsome kind of c

familiar brands and tastes and perceive chips
as an indulgence, which may be a challenge to market
expansion, but opportunities lie in new flavor combinations, functionality and healthy innovations.
"Taste, craveability and the desire to 'treat yourself' are
driving consumer choice for more indulgent salty snacks,"
said Tom Vierhile, vice-president, strategic insights, North
America, Innova Market Insights.
The potato chip brands of Frito-Lay, Plano, TX, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, ranked among those with highest
dollar sales.
"Through both marketplace observation and talking to
consumers, we know that potato and tortilla chips, as well as
cheesy and spicy snacks, are still top picks for consumers,"
said Jared Johnson, vice-president of insights, analytics
and category management, Frito-Lay.
Growth in the potato chip category is fueled by an explosion of new flavors and combinations. Sweet flavors are in
demand, but savory flavors are influencing growth, according
to IRI. Local foods and global cuisines also inspire innovation.
Wise Foods, Berwick, PA, added honey butter-flavored
potato chips that deliver on sweet and savory. Wise
Ridgies also played with sweet and savory, adding
Southern Sweet Heat Barbecue to the lineup.
Innovation with alternative oils, salt and protein may help
snack producers create an acceptable better-for-you chip
for health-conscious consumers trying to find a balance or
eat within dietary or self-imposed restrictions, according to
Mintel's survey.
"Consumers today are looking for the added benefits
of inherent ingredients, rather than what's been removed
from the product," said Kevin Foltz, director, consumer
content, Wise Foods.
Wise Food's Deep River Kettle offers a permissible indulgence that is non-GMO Project verified and produced
with 100% sunflower oil.
"It's a general misconception that consumers want
healthier options, so they aren't indulging," said Hector
