The fast-paced German society and the rising number of single households drive the demand for high-convenience food products, including ready-to-eat meals and snack bars. Stores are flooded with various snack bars, like protein-rich, nutritious, and gluten- and dairy-free bars that attract health-conscious consumers. There is a growing demand for cereal bars with superfoods, like chia and quinoa, as they provide nutrition with convenience at the same time. Product innovation has been a key driver that supports visibility and consumer interest and helps attract new clients.

German customers' growing preference for convenient, on-the-go meals and snacks, mostly as a result of their hectic lifestyles, drive the German market. The demand for organic energy bars increased as customers became more aware of the potential negative health impacts of artificial additives such as color, flavor, sweeteners, and preservatives. The evolving retail industry is marked by the emergence of many stores in the hypermarket, supermarket, and convenience stores segments. According to data published by the Bund Ökologische Lebensmittelwirtschaft (BÖLW), which is the main organization for organic food farmers, processors, and merchants across Germany, the sales of organic food increased over the past 10 years, rising from EUR 6.64 billion in 2011 to EUR 15.3 billion in 2022. This trend is expected to last in the long term due to the rising customer interest in the food production process and attention to healthy living. This trend is expected to drive the demand for organic snack bars across the region over the forecast period.
