PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Influence of price inflation and strengthening competition from chocolate confectionery
While shifting consumer preferences benefited sugar confectionery in 2025, this trend does not indicate a long-term change in category importance. Instead, it highlights how price volatility in one category, such as chocolate confectionery, can temporarily drive consumers towards more affordable substitutes.
Health-conscious consumers willing to pay a premium for healthier products
With rising health consciousness and consumers increasingly mindful of their sugar intake, manufacturers are expected to respond by introducing reduced-sugar formulations and confectionery products enriched with functional benefits, such as added vitamins, collagen, or preservative-free ingredients. Health-conscious Slovak consumers are increasingly both willing and able to pay a premium for confectionery products that offer added value.
“Healthier” sweeteners to gain favour
Reducing sugar content will remain a key priority for confectionery manufacturers in Slovakia. However, approaches to sugar reduction are expected to vary.
