The snack pellets market is estimated to account for about USD 2.0 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach a value of about USD 2.5 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.3%. The growth of the snack pellets market is driven by the rising demand for prepared and convenience food products. In addition to this, the growing focus on facility expansion, marketing schemes, and information exchange programs for creating awareness to enhance the consumption of snack pellets has contributed to the growth of the market.  

The multigrain type segment is projected to be the fastest-growing in the snack pellets market during the forecast period.

The multigrain type segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the snack pellets market during the forecast period. Multigrain snack pellets are made of various grains that have high nutritional value. Earlier, a single grain type was used to produce snack pellets, due to which the nutritional value of products was limited. Currently, the consumer demand for multigrain snack pellets remains high due to its high-fiber content. With low-fat content, multigrain snack pellets offer various health and taste benefits, as compared to potato- and corn-based snack pellets. Grains such as wheat is mostly used with other types for snack pellets.

The gelatinized segment is projected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.

On the basis of form, the snack pellets market is segmented into laminated, die-face, tridimensional, and gelatinized. Gelatinized pellets are uniform in thickness; and are generally flat, with holes on the surface. The thickness is essential for the maintenance of shape definition upon frying or toasting. Gelatinized pellets can be produced by using a specially designed high-speed rotary cutting machine, which sequentially and synchronously punches the holes and cuts the sheet into the desired shape. Hence, the gelatinized form of snack pellets in the food industry is witnessing growth.

The single-screw extruder segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the snack pellets market in 2018.

On the basis of technique, the snack pellets market is dominated by the single-screw extruder segment. Single-screw extruders are comparatively easy to operate and maintain. Moreover, there are various types of single extruders offered by leading players in the market; these extruders are effective and capable of producing complex extruded snack food products. A single-screw extruder uses one screw in the barrel of the extruder to transport and shape multiple ingredients by forcing the ingredient mix through a shaped die to produce a uniform shape.

The overall fertigation & chemigation market is projected to grow from USD 31.06 billion in 2015 to USD 42.18 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2015 to 2020. Fertigation & chemigation is the slow application of nutrients and water on or below the soil by surface drip, subsurface drip, bubbler, and micro-sprinkler systems. Fertigation & chemigations offer several advantages, such as minimum wastage of water, minimal labor requirement, and ability to provide protection against drought conditions, which, in turn, help in the growth of the market. The fertigation & chemigation market has been expanding with the increasing scarcity of water across the globe and strong progress and initiatives taken by emerging economies through water replenishment and programs. Government initiatives for optimum use of water resources in agriculture and further support for adopting fertigation & chemigation in the form of subsidies would put the market on a strong growth curve in the coming years.

The high efficiency in nutrient utilization drives the global fertigation & chemigation market

Fertigation is a method of fertilizer application where the nutrients are added into the irrigation water and supplied through the drip system. Fertigation and microirrigation offer the potential for specific control of nutrients as well as water. A main benefit of fertigation is that it provides greater flexibility and control over the applied nutrients as compared to conventional broadcast applications. Fertilizers are applied when required and in small doses. In fertigation, fertilizer solution is distributed through the irrigation system. The efficiency of this method increases due to the very high availability of the nutrients. In this method, both liquid fertilizers as well as water-soluble fertilizers are used, and their efficiency increases by 80 to 90% as the nutrients are supplied near the active root zone through fertigation which results in greater absorption by the crops.
