On-the-move eating has become a significant part of modern diets; in the past, such products were limited to cold snacks, such as crisps and confectionery confectionery, delicacies or sweetmeats that have sugar as a principal ingredient, combined with coloring matter and flavoring and often with fruit or nuts. In the United States it is usually called candy, in Great Britain, sweets or boiled sweets. , but today a whole raft of hot-eating snacks exists. Hot snacks, encompassing frozen hot-eating snacks, chilled hot-eating snacks, snack soups and snack noodles (including other pot snacks), are worth USD USD

The UK takes second place in per capita expenditure terms, with USD10.78, and here chilled and frozen new-generation hot snacks are more prominent.

The hot snacks market is relatively fragmented in terms of its structure, with significant differences between the different sectors of the market. The frozen snacks market is largely contested by companies with significant interests in frozen foods as a whole. The chilled hot snacks market, on the other hand, is much more fragmented, with fewer multinational companies.

The International Market for Fruit Snacks reports that total sales of fruit snacks in the eight countries under review (the US, France, the UK, Australia, Italy, Germany, Spain and Japan) were worth USD2, 318m in 2005. Dried snacking fruit accounted for 45.5% of the total value, fruit bars and processed snacks 28%, canned and ambient fruit snacks 14.6% and chilled fruit snacks 11.9%.

The largest single market for fruit snacks was the US, which accounted for 48% of the international total or over USD1.1bn. Other significant markets were France and the UK, which accounted for 25% and 12% of the total value, respectively. In per capita terms, the French lead by a clear margin, thanks largely to the established and sizeable nature of the individual fruit compotes category in that country.

Dried snacking fruit is the largest sector of the market, with 45.5% of total value and it is showing good growth, particularly in markets where considerable emphasis is placed on its potential role as a snack, with growing sales of individual portions and resealable bags and canisters. This is starting to transform a market that once had a strong commodity image and was seeing declining sales in the wake of falling demand for dried fruit for home baking, etc.

The International Market for Cereal Snacks assesses trends and developments in the international market for cereal snacks. It looks at two key categories:

* Cereal bars, and

* Rice snacks
