The gelatinized segment is projected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
On the basis of form, the snack pellets market is segmented into laminated, die-face, tridimensional, and gelatinized. Gelatinized pellets are uniform in thickness; and are generally flat, with holes on the surface. The thickness is essential for the maintenance of shape definition upon frying or toasting. Gelatinized pellets can be produced by using a specially designed high-speed rotary cutting machine, which sequentially and synchronously punches the holes and cuts the sheet into the desired shape. Hence, the gelatinized form of snack pellets in the food industry is witnessing growth.
