Growing e-commerce and preference toward multipacks instead of singles boosting protein bar sales

  • Supermarket/hypermarket was observed to be the largest segment by distribution channel in the global protein bar market. The proliferation of the network of multinational brands promotes the growth of the protein bar market. For instance, the Lidl supermarket chain had around 11,200 outlets, Aldi Sud had 7,200 outlets, and Penny Market had 3,600 outlets as of 2022. These retail outlets typically stock a wide variety of protein bar brands, flavors, and types, allowing consumers to choose from a diverse selection to suit their taste and dietary preferences. This helps consumers to stock up on protein bars at a relatively affordable cost. Consumers are increasingly interested in bars with benefits such as energy, weight loss, or sleep support, and they prefer retail stores to buy them.
  • The online retail channel is anticipated to be the fastest-growing distribution channel with a CAGR of 0.03% by value over the forecast period, accelerated by the growing global internet penetration, increasing smartphone usage, and expansive network of grocery delivery chains. Online stores allow consumers to select from a large collection of product offerings marketed under private labels as well as mainstream brands. Internet access across key regions is also anticipated to foster online sales of protein bars during the forecast period.
  • Convenience stores occupied the second-highest share by value in 2022. The sales of protein bars through convenience stores increased by 7.19% by value in 2022 compared to 2021. Convenience stores are typically located in easily accessible areas, including urban centers, gas stations, and busy intersections. The proximity allows consumers to make quick, on-the-spot purchases of protein bars without having to travel to larger stores.
