PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Sales of sugar confectionery set to rise as innovation and macroeconomic recovery fuel growth
Sales of sugar confectionery are expected to rise over the forecast period, supported by a combination of improving macroeconomic conditions and active innovation, particularly from leading brands. Following the turbulence of 2024, the Argentine economy is forecast to enter a period of gradual recovery.
Premiumisation and functional innovations expected to strengthen category value
The outlook for digital and technological advancement in sugar confectionery is more pronounced in terms of product innovation than in manufacturing or distribution. In particular, gummies and jellies – already the largest category by value – are poised to drive value growth through the launch of more premium and differentiated offerings.
New labelling laws shape perceptions, but indulgence continues to drive demand
While health and wellness trends continue to gain traction in Argentina, their influence on sugar confectionery purchasing remains limited. The government introduced a labelling regulation in 2022 requiring products that exceed certain thresholds for sodium, fats, sugar or calories to include a black octagon warning label on packaging.
