In South Africa, the local Savoury Biscuits market (also referred to as Savoury Snack Biscuits), which is a category within the greater Savoury Snacks market, is also expected to grow in coming years. More specifically, the Savoury Biscuits category is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 1.5%, for the forecast period 2021 to 2025. This predicted growth is largely due to an increase in the variety of Savoury Snack Biscuits available to South African consumers.
At a global level, a wider range of distinctive Savoury Snack Biscuits have become available to consumers. These include Savoury Snack Biscuits offering unique flavours and flavour combinations, such as Trader Joe’s Strawberry & Jalapeño Crisps. In addition, several market players have released specific products to target those looking for functional and healthy Savoury Snack Biscuits. These include immune-boosting Munchy’s Crackers, Kellogg’s lower-calorie Club Crisps and Town House Dipping Thins, as well as gluten-free products such as Simple Mills’ Organic Seed Flour Cracker, amongst others.
In the South African market, it has become easier than ever for consumers to conveniently access a wide variety of Savoury Snack Biscuit products. This is due to market players, such as Continental Brands, offering more diverse portfolios of Savoury Snack Biscuit products, as well as retailers offering a wider variety of Snack Biscuit Products. These ranges include well-known existing brands, as well as house brands offered by retailers such as SPAR, Checkers, and Pick n Pay, often at more reasonable price points.
Furthermore, smaller market players, such as Khayelitsha Cookies and the YOU Cookie Company, offer consumers access to hand-made Savoury Snack Biscuits. For example, Khayelitsha Cookie offers an online retail store, through which consumers can easily access the company’s products and services.
This increased access also allows South African consumers to more easily purchase Savoury Snack Biscuits, targeted to the specific dietary needs of consumers. These dietary needs include those following a gluten-free diet, who are now able to enjoy a wide variety of gluten-free Savoury Snack Biscuits. As an example, South African retailer Woolworths, offers several Savoury Snack Biscuit options as part of its gluten-free range, including crackerbreads and crackers in various flavours, as well as offering products naturally free from gluten, such as rice crackers.
In addition, Woolworths also offers a wide range of its unique Savory Snack Biscuit product in smaller pack sizes. These include mini versions of its rice cracker range, its smaller sized Ancient Grains bites, as well as smaller pack sizes of its Whole Grain Brown Rice Crackers. Moreover, Baker’s also offer Mini-Salticrax biscuits, based on its original salted crackers. These smaller pack sizes may be especially appealing to consumers seeking out individual servings of their favourite Savoury Snack Biscuits, as well as those seeking to give new, unknown products a try.
