The demand for organic energy bars increased as customers became more aware of the potential negative health impacts of artificial additives such as color, flavor, sweeteners, and preservatives. The evolving retail industry is marked by the emergence of many stores in the hypermarket, supermarket, and convenience stores segments. According to data published by the Bund Okologische Lebensmittelwirtschaft (BOLW), which is the main organization for organic food farmers, processors, and merchants across Germany, the sales of organic food increased over the past 10 years, rising from EUR 6.64 billion in 2011 to EUR 15.3 billion in 2022. This trend is expected to last in the long term due to the rising customer interest in the food production process and attention to healthy living. This trend is expected to drive the demand for organic snack bars across the region over the forecast period.
