Pretzels are baked appetizers made from dough made of wheat flour. The industry offers these products in a variety of shapes and hues. To give the products a suitable texture and flavour, pretzels are seasoned with salt and lye. The pretzels' flavor is enhanced by the additional seasoning, which includes, among other things, cheese, chocolate, cinnamon, and nuts. Snack-based food consumption is increasing, and this trend can be ascribed to the rising stress levels due to the younger generation's hectic lifestyle. To sate their hunger, customers worldwide are looking for comfort food products like packaged pretzels. Additionally, consumers' eating patterns are steadily changing from the customary three meals per day to a variety of smaller meals throughout the day. This has led to an increase in demand for products made for snacks like pretzels.
Secondly, pretzels are sold in more restaurants and retail stores due to the growing food sector. Moreover, the top producers are introducing a wide range of pretzel tastes, including butter and honey mustard, barbeque, parmesan, and garlic. Additionally, they have created prepared frozen pretzels and frozen pretzel dough. In addition, producers have begun creating all-natural, cholesterol-, trans-, and gluten-free food enriched with vital vitamins and minerals as the number of health-conscious consumers has increased.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
