PMMI Business Intelligence: 2024 Snack Foods Packaging Trends

Snack food market employers continue to look for ways to improve employee training, and technology is providing an edge.

That’s according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s “2024 Snack Foods Packaging Trends,” where Business Intelligence researchers surveyed and interviewed several snack producers on their outlook of the snack foods market, emerging machinery and market trends, and current challenges.

Taking advantage of technology

Researchers found that employee training and troubleshooting are how technology is most widely used among snack food-producing companies.

Videos are used for training employees both at hire and for new machinery. Manuals and troubleshooting assistance are often stored on computers near equipment so that they can be referred to quickly and without the need for further assistance from leadership. In one instance, virtual reality (VR) is being used to assist with maintenance and fixing of machines.
