Potato chips are one of the most favourite snack foods consumed worldwide on account of their affordability and easy availability. The potato chips market has witnessed a substantial growth over the last several years, turning it into a multibillion dollar market. They are popular among all age groups, however, the young population (below 15 years) represents a key segment for potato chips. This population is expected to expand by around 10% during 2017-2050 which will further drive its demand. Another major factor driving the global demand for potato chips is changing lifestyles.

Other factors like increasing urbanisation, rise in disposable incomes and growth in the emerging markets are also expected to propel the growth of this market.
