Despite a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, the Philippines` import shipments of strips and chips continued to show a steady CAGR of 0.18% from 2020 to 2024. The top exporting countries to the Philippines in 2024 were Thailand, USA, China, South Korea, and Malaysia, indicating a diverse mix of sources. However, the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) suggests a concentrated market. Monitoring market dynamics and exploring strategies to diversify sources could be beneficial for importers in the Philippines.

The strips and chips market in the Philippines is focused on diagnostic devices, such as glucose strips and lab-on-chip platforms. This market benefits from the increasing prevalence of diabetes and other chronic diseases, making point-of-care testing a critical healthcare component.
The Philippines Strips and Chips Market is experiencing growth, driven by the increasing demand for processed snacks. Strips and chips, often made from vegetables or fruits, are popular among consumers looking for healthy snack alternatives. The rise of snacking habits and the growing preference for healthier, low-calorie options are contributing to the market`s expansion. Innovations in flavoring and packaging are also driving consumer interest in these products, with new varieties and more eco-friendly packaging solutions entering the market.
The strips and chips market in the Philippines is impacted by changing consumer preferences and health concerns over processed snacks. With increasing awareness of the health risks associated with consuming fried snacks, the market faces declining demand. Additionally, local producers may struggle with rising raw material costs, which affects profitability. There is also fierce competition from international snack brands, making it difficult for local producers to establish a strong market presence.
Diagnostic strips and lab-on-a-chip technologies are becoming essential tools in the Philippines healthcare and agricultural diagnostics landscape. This market offers opportunities for investment in portable diagnostic tools for diabetes, infectious diseases, and soil health testing. Local assembly and distribution could help scale accessibility while minimizing costs.
In the diagnostics and biotechnology field, strips and chips for testing are under the regulatory scope of the DOH and FDA. The government promotes local access to diagnostic tools, particularly through its universal healthcare framework. Policies support the procurement of rapid diagnostic kits and biosensors for government hospitals and clinics, while ensuring imported strips and chips meet international quality benchmarks. Partnerships with local labs and R&D centers are encouraged to localize production.
