Cheeses and Cheese Alternatives, at $3.6 billion, remains the biggest category. Yogurt and Kefir continues to explode and has taken over the No. 2 spot, at $2.27 billion. Rounding out the top five categories are Chips, Pretzels and Snacks; Coffees, Coffee Substitutes and Cocoa; and Meat, Poultry and Seafood. Only three of the 51 categories shown (excluding Other categories) declined over the two-year period. KEFIR Product Category Editor's Note: The total size of the U.S. specialty food market and the numbers presented here are different because this product category data does not include PLU items (such as prepared foods, meat, bread, pastries), private-label sales, or sales through Trader Joe's, Walmart or Whole Foods Market. Mintel estimates that total sales can be as much as 40 percent higher when PLU sales are included. Does not include private-label sales, PLU items or sales through Trader Joe's, Walmart or Whole Foods Market. Data may not equal totals due to rounding. *"Other" comprises eight additional segments that are less significant and not itemized. However, sales are included in the total.
