The high processing cost of vegan snacks further hinders the adoption of these snacks in low and middle-income countries, which may hamper the industry growth during the forecast period. However, a significant number of product launches in plant-based snacks by manufacturers are projected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the industry.”
