Urban India’s snacking culture is undergoing a makeover, with Korean snacks and protein bars becoming major favourites among millennials and Gen-Z consumers. On-demand grocery platforms report a sharp rise in orders for imported snacks and health-focused bars.

The trend reflects growing cultural exposure through K-dramas, social media and global travel — combined with India’s rising appetite for functional, lifestyle-driven food choices.
