Protein Bar: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.72 at volume, on a typical 45-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For protein bar, the drivers are carbohydrate source, sugar ratio, flavor system, sachet or bulk pack size, electrolyte inclusion, carb grams, texture, coating — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted wholesale routes show branded bars around about $1.40-$1.90 per bar at casepack/resale levels, while private-label cereal-bar listings and trade benchmarks drop below $1.00 only at very high MOQs. The biggest cost drivers are bar weight, inclusion mix (nuts/chocolate/protein), sweetness/potency load, and whether the wrapper is standard flow-wrap or custom printed; imported landed-equivalent pricing can undercut domestic co-packers but usually requires larger MOQs and longer transit. Realistic supplier paths are US co-packers/private-label manufacturers for 500-25k units and import/trade marketplaces for 25k+ units.
