Government initiatives and investments to expand the processed and extruded food sectors will provide growth opportunity.

The demand for extruded snacks is expected to rise in emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, and Russia, due to increasing consumer preference toward ready-to-eat food products. To tap these markets, snack manufacturers are increasing their production, due to which the requirement for food extruders is increasing in the region. Globally, the demand for extruded snacks is increasing. This is encouraging snack pellet manufacturers to expand and improve their production facilities. In Europe, high demand is witnessed for processed snack products. The European Snacks Association (ESA) has supported the markets for snacks and snack pellets by bringing together various stakeholders associated with the snacks industry. The association arranges various trade shows, conferences, and publishes technical insights for promoting trade by sharing knowledge. The ESA takes the responsibility to inform the members of the current and emerging trends of the association. Also, the North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers provides all the support in terms of technical expertise and other guidance to set up, expand, or upgrade businesses. Such initiatives by governments are helping snack pellet manufacturers to expand their business, hence creating an opportunity for the growth of the snack pellet market.

Operational complexity during food processing is a major challenge for the snack pellets market.

The viscosity, screw speed, temperature, and pressure, along with the complexity of the mathematical descriptions of the process, are closely inter-related. These dynamics present a challenge for accurate dynamic modeling of the extrusion process. Also, there are several load variables for viscosity regulations, depending on the choice of the manipulation variable, which may present disturbances. Extra caution needs to be taken while processing functional products, as there may be a loss of nutrients of the ingredients during processing. Such factors are the major challenges in snack pellets processing, and hence, can hinder the growth of the overall snack pellets market.
