Packaged snacks, such as Oreos, Chips Ahoy, Pocky, and Tim Tam, are cooking up some serious growth. The industry is projected to reach a whopping US $109.96 billion by late 2025, thanks to consumers' growing disposable incomes and appetites for convenience and comfort in a fast-paced, urbanized world.
