Snacking 2025: moments that move the category

In 2025, snacking is less about a product and more about a moment: a small reward after a long day, a reason to talk, a pause with coffee. People want joy without the heaviness — light, simple, crunchy.

From product to moment

Evening on the sofa. A blanket, a new episode, something to crunch. It doesn’t have to be “guilty pleasure” — just good and fuss-free. The same outdoors: a quick park break with a bottle of water. Or a city pause between meetings — fifteen minutes and a coffee, ideally with something light on the side.

Three growth scenes

Home — sharing and ease win. Packs that look good on the table, open and reseal simply, and fit the rhythm of a movie night.
Outdoor — portability matters: a pack that slips into a backpack and feels light in every sense.
Daytime coffee — the winning duo is crunch + a conversation-worthy flavour that pairs well with coffee.

The subtle hero: rice & corn cakes

Here a lighter format steps in — plain or flavoured. It delivers the expected crunch, while staying firmly better-for-you. It moves easily across occasions: replacing chips at home, feeling “clean” outdoors, and surprising alongside a flat white.

Flavours people talk about

Inspiration flows from beverages and world cuisines: Japanese curry, wasabi, tandoori, chilli & lime. These notes lift a simple ingredient list and create small discoveries worth sharing.

A shelf story

Think of a product that rotates across the day, carries a clear message, and invites repeat choice. A multipack for home evenings, a to-go portion for a walk, a limited edition for coffee — each format serves a different scene, yet all tell one coherent story.

What we’re doing on our side

We’re expanding our line of flavoured rice & corn cakes, investing in a new pack format and automation to respond faster to real life: home, park, coffee shop. We develop flavours that keep the lightness, and formats that make life easier — from sharing on the sofa to a quick snack break between meetings.

Summary

Snacking in 2025 plays out on three stages: home, outdoor, and daytime coffee. When a snack blends pleasure, convenience and a better-for-you profile, it fits these new occasions perfectly. Follow that path — light, simple, crunchy — and let consumers do what they love most: reach for something that crunches and tells a good story.
