The types segment classifies products according to the botanical source and processing method, with four principal sub‑categories: Root‑Derived Chips (e.g., beet, carrot, parsnip), Leaf‑Derived Chips (e.g., kale, spinach, collard), Fruit‑Vegetable Blends (e.g., apple‑sweet potato, mango‑zucchini), and Legume‑Based Chips (e.g., lentil, chickpea). Root‑Derived Chips dominate the category, capturing roughly 40% of volume due to familiar taste profiles and established supply chains. Leaf‑Derived Chips, valued for high fiber and micronutrient content, hold about 25% of the market, reflecting growing consumer interest in functional snacks. Fruit‑Vegetable Blends, positioned as premium offerings, contribute 20%, leveraging flavor complexity to command higher price points. Legume‑Based Chips, noted for protein density, account for the remaining 15%, supported by plant‑protein trends in snack formulations. This taxonomy clarifies how each type adds distinct value to the overall market composition.
