Top 50 Snack and Bakery Companies

RSS

The top-selling companies among baking and snack players saw mostly ups, a few downs, and some notable shifts.

Inflation continues to eat away (no pun intended) at the food budgets of the average U.S. consumer. The effects are being felt by all manner of businesses, from restauranteurs serving fewer diners in their establishments to many snack and bakery producers moving fewer units than pre-pandemic days.

Companies on this year’s Top 50 Snack & Bakery Companies list continue to thrive, despite challenges.

The U.S. retail snack industry is currently valued at nearly $40 billion, accounting for sales of salty snacks like chips, popcorn, pretzels, puffed/extruded snacks and tortilla chips, as well as crackers, frozen grain-based snacks and appetizers like pizza rolls, and snack mixes and nuts.

No segment of the U.S. food industry is as productive and lively as snack and bakery today.
