Review | Top 10 Events in the Snack Discount Sector in 2023

If 2023 saw a general cooling of consumption, the snack track was a different story. Over the past year, snack discount chains represented by Snacks Busy, Zhao Yiming Snacks, and Snacks Youming rapidly rose, becoming hot commodities. They further squeezed the living space of snack specialty brands that had dominated the track for years, forcing brands like Bestore and Three Squirrels to proactively transform and enter the snack discount track. In addition to these two major competitive forces, fresh-made snack categories represented by Panda Momo and Xueji Roasted Nuts also caught the attention of capital. Driven by these three major business formats, the all-round competition in the snack track has become impossible to ignore. Based on this, the author has specially reviewed the important events in the snack category in 2023. We note that the current snack track has entered a period of intense horizontal competition, mainly reflected in store scale, layout density, and supply chain. In the future, major brands will enter 'face-to-face competition,' making close-range competition inevitable. Mergers, acquisitions, integration, and upgrades may become new development trends.
