The pandemic has changed the working culture in Australia, especially snacking habits of consumers. According to survey of over 500 people by Mondelez, Australia, it revealed that 13% of younger people prefer biscuits to other snack options. It also showed that different age groups have different preferences when it comes to snacks. The majority of the people surveyed were in the millennial or centennial age bracket. 53% of the people were buying snacks that made them think of good memories, and 72% wanted to stick with their favorite brand.

Australian brand like “Godiva” offers premium biscuits with different fillings such as dark chocolate, caramel, milk chocolate, and coffee. It’s a diversified range of premium biscuits with unique packaging, which will further enhance the market growth over the forecast period.

For instance, in 2021, Mondelez International company acquired Australian food company Gourmet Food Holdings Pty, which is specializing in the premium biscuits and cracker. With this acquisition, the company broadens their product portfolio in Australia.

Moreover, marketing activities and brand competition can influence consumers to purchase a particular biscuit product from a particular company. For instance, marketing messages can lead consumers to form a specific opinion of a product, which in turn, can influence an individual to purchase the product. For example, Arnott's unveiled a 'moments' ad campaign in May of 2023, for the neighborhood, with the message “‘For life's little moments, there is no replacement’”. All of these factors make up for an increase in market demand in anticipated periods. These elements can increase market demand in the forecasted years.

Australia Biscuits Market Challenges

The biscuits industry in Australia faces many challenges due to the increasing demand for healthy snack bars across the nation. At the same time, the demand for healthy snack food bars is on the rise. The need for better meal replacement options among modern consumers has held back market growth. Fruit snacks and other snacks such as yoghurt and cereal bars, among others, are considered to be significant options for snacking. Some customers fall for processed snacks such as dried and preserved processed fruit snacks. Fresh fruits and vegetables do not contain any processed additives or toxins that are found in packaged snacks. Therefore, consumers are changing their diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables. Thus, all these factors can restrain the growth of the biscuits market in Australia.

However, there is a concern regarding the health implications of biscuits. It has been medically proven that excessive consumption of snacks such as biscuits can lead to diabetes and toothache. Furthermore, due to the presence of sugar in biscuits, they can increase blood sugar levels, which is a major factor influencing biscuit consumption and impeding the growth of the market.
