Globally, the demand for convenience foods is growing at a faster pace due to changes in social and economical patterns, as well as increased expenditure of food and beverage, awareness about healthy foods, changes in meal patterns and existing food habits, and the desire to taste new products. The United States is the largest market for convenience foods in the world, and the emerging markets of Asia- Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America are projected to see future growth for the same. On-the-go snacking is becoming extremely popular, especially among the working-class people, teenage children, people living in hostels, and bachelors due to their hectic lifestyles. Moreover, the on-the-go snacking concept is closely associated with easy consumption and handling of products, which snack bars offer. Thus, the demand for snack bars is increasing due to the linked convenience of consumption, aided by disposable packaging that prevents the bars from coming in contact with hands, keeping them clean to work, simultaneously. Presently, consumers are allocating less time for traditional grocery shopping, due to busier schedules. Due to the same, they are also not able to take out time for proper meals and, therefore, opt for on-the-go snack bars in order to satisfy their hunger.

下半年乳制品需求景气度回升+供给紧平衡，原奶大概率进入涨价周期，行业促销力度减弱，竞争格局边际改善，龙头盈利弹性有望持续释放。秋季建议关注需求景气回升+竞争格局趋缓带来基本面边际改善，估值相对合理的乳制品板块。调味品短期确实面临回调降估值的压力，但中长期看，调味品赛道因刚需性强、空间大、现金流好、行业竞争格局较好、增长确定性高等优势仍将被赋予合理的估值溢价，龙头尤甚。短期波动并不改变板块的长期投资逻辑，建议回调中择机布局。
