US snacks market dominated by Frito-Lay
Article Abstract:
The Lays and Ruffles snack brands, both of which are owned by Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, dominate the US snack market. They account for 48.3% of the market, compared with a share of only 9.9% for Procter and Gamble's Pringles, their nearest competitor. A number of smaller manufacturers have left the market, further boosting Frito-Lay's position. Many branded suppliers also supply private label products, especially as a result of the strong growth in the number of lower-fat snacks.

German snack market under pressure from declining demand
Article Abstract:
The German market for savoury snacks was worth 2.48 billion German marks in 1994, with a volume of 305,000 t. Demand has been influenced by market concentration and many manufacturers expect a price war to break out. The market leader is Convent, with sales of 2.4 billion German marks in 1994 and a 50% share of the total snack market. Rival Bahlsen has a 25% share of the market. Other companies have very small sales compared to the two leading players.
