Snacking is no longer just about cravings. Consumers are eating more frequently, more intentionally, and with higher expectations—seeking snacks that deliver energy, health benefits, and enjoyment all at once.


In this webinar, Circana unpacks how snacking behaviors are shifting across the U.S., what’s driving purchase decisions today, and how brands can win in a more competitive, fragmented, and AI-influenced landscape.


Why It Matters


Snacks are now replacing meals, shaping daily routines, and driving consistent growth across channels—even in a pressured market.


But growth is no longer broad. It’s selective and intentional.


To win, brands must clearly define:


  • The role each product plays

  • The value it delivers

  • Why it deserves a place in the basket


What You’ll Learn


  • Understand the New Snack Landscape

    How snacking fits into daily life—and why frequency and expectations are rising


  • Identify What’s Winning Today

    From protein and function to flavor innovation and portion formats


  • Navigate Shifting Consumer Behavior

    Including value polarization, GLP-1 impact, and evolving health expectations


  • Win in a New Discovery Environment

    How AI, social commerce, and digital shelves are reshaping how snacks are found and chosen
