The North America nutritional bars market is expected to grow from US$ 2,200.46 million in 2022 to US$ 2,881.06 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2022 to 2028.
In 2017, Kellogg Company acquired RXBar, a company producing clean-label protein bars made with whole food ingredients. Adding a pioneering, clean-label, high-protein snacking product to Kellogg's portfolio bolstered the company's already strong wholesome snacks offering. With a base of egg whites, fruit and nuts, each RXBar provides 12 grams of protein. They are available in 11 different flavors, with additional seasonal and limited-time varieties, which are distributed in the US. The company also recently launched RXBar Kids in kid-friendly flavors and portions, which contain the same core ingredients as RXBars. In 2020, Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. introduced Atkins Endulge Dessert Bars. These bars offer a unique texture, with a rich, creamy burst of flavors on the outside and a subtle crispiness on the inside. These keto-friendly, high-fiber treats contain 130 calories, 3 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of sugar per serving. In 2022, Simply Good Foods Co., a company developing and marketing nutritional foods and snacks, expanded its Atkins and Quest brands with several new product launches. Under the Atkins brand, Simply Good Foods has introduced new Keto Peanut Butter Cups, Caramel Almond Clusters, Chocolate Crème Wafer Crisps, and Vanilla Caramel Pretzel Bar. Under the Quest brand, the company has introduced Quest Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bars. The bars are coated with chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate. They are free of gluten and contain 3 grams of net carbohydrates, 17 grams of protein, and 1 gram of sugar per serving. They are available in three sizes: 4-count multi-packs, 1-count bars, and 12-count cartons. In 2022, Nature Valley launched Protein Crunch bars with a creamy and crunchy texture. The product contains 10 grams of protein with ingredients such as creamy peanut butter and crunchy nuts in a whole-grain oat bar. This new addition to the Nature Valley Protein lineup is ideal for between-meal cravings. In 2022, Kellogg's Special K introduced new Protein Snack Bars, with 6 grams of protein and 90 calories per bar. These are available in two flavors: sweet berry vanilla and rich chocolatey brownie sundae. These new Special K Protein Snack Bars can be carried as an easy, on-the-go protein snack. Such product launches attract consumers to choose from a wide range of nutritional bars, which is eventually bolstering the growth of the North America nutritional bars market.
Moreover, the rising vegan population and veganism are boosting the demand for plant-based nutritional bars. Thus, leading manufacturers are launching plant-based nutritional bars to cater to consumers' demands. For instance, in June 2020, RXBAR, a Kellogg subsidiary, launched its first plant-based nutritional bar. This bar contains 10g of plant protein obtained from peas and almonds. Such product innovations by manufacturers are expected to boost the North America nutritional bars market growth during the forecast period.
