As the UK convenience market evolves, one category stands out for its unstoppable growth - crisps, snacks, and nuts. For independent retailers, the opportunity to drive profits and customer loyalty through this segment has never been greater.
According to recent data, the savoury snacking category is now worth £574 million in independent and symbol stores, a staggering 17.2% year-on-year growth. Even more impressively, crisps, snacks, and nuts have become the fastest-growing category across the entire sector, with an 18.6% increase over the past year.
So how can your store make the most of this demand? Here's what you need to know.
Focus on Sharing Bags
One of the clearest trends is the dominance of sharing bags, now making up nearly 65% of category sales. These formats are growing faster than any other – up 25.9% year-on-year – driven by big night-ins, family snacking, and group occasions.
Procuria tip: Prioritise stocking top-selling sharing SKUs from brands like Bobby’s, who offer great value snacks and crisps in larger formats perfect for sharing. Their competitive price points and fast-moving lines make them ideal for convenience retailers.
Tap into Health-Conscious Snacking
Consumers are more health-aware than ever, and this is fuelling huge growth in snacks that balance flavour and nutrition. Nature’s Table is a key supplier in this space, offering a vibrant range of fruit, nut, and seed mixes.
Procuria tip: Stock Nature’s Table products at eye level or near till points to catch the health-conscious shopper. These are also great additions to meal deals and lunchbox offerings.
Don’t Overlook Nuts
Nuts continue to gain ground as a versatile, health-forward snack. They offer a win-win: great taste, and long shelf life. Taste Merchants supplies a quality range of flavoured and classic nuts that cater to both indulgent and mindful consumers.
Procuria tip: Look for on-trend flavours like sweet chilli or honey roast, and consider smaller packs for lunchbox fillers as well as premium jars or pouches for gifting and night-in treats.
In Summary:
With savoury snacking continuing its upward trajectory, there’s never been a better time to stock smart and grow your margins. By focusing on high-growth formats, health-led ranges, and trusted Procuria suppliers like Bobby’s, Nature’s Table, and Taste Merchants, your store can stay ahead of the curve, and your competition.
