PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Steady demand predicted as consumers seek value for money
Sugar confectionery is projected to see steady growth in retail value and volume terms over the forecast period. While consumers are becoming more health conscious and want to eat fewer unhealthy and sugary foods, there is still demand for moments of indulgence which should continue to benefit snacks like sugar confectionery.
Innovation to be led by new SKUs from existing and new players
New product development is a vital component of driving growth in sugar confectionery. New product launches are heavily promoted within supermarkets, the primary channel of distribution for sugar confectionery, with consumers being more inclined to make those impulse purchases when shopping in these stores.
Increasing focus on health and wellness set to inform innovation
Health and wellness will remain a focus of the sugar confectionery market over the forecast period as consumers try to make better lifestyle choices. Reduced sugar options are becoming more appealing to consumers as these allow consumers to continue enjoying their favourite snacks while also watching their intake of sugar and calories.
