According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “MENA Extruded Snack Food Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026”, the MENA extruded snack food market reached a value of US$ 2.26 Billion in 2020. Extruded snack foods are crispy, crunchy and puffy snacks which are mostly prepared from starch or cereal flour. In order to enhance their taste and nutritional characteristics, cereals, oats, puffed rice and even dried or moist vegetables are added to these snack foods. This shift has led to an increase in the demand for ready-to-eat food products like extruded snack foods which can be consumed without any additional preparations. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the MENA extruded snack food market to exhibit moderate growth during the next five years 2021-2026.
