PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Flavour innovation to help mitigate long-term stagnation in a health-conscious market
Sales of sugar confectionery are expected to see modest value growth over the forecast period. Ongoing volatility in raw material prices and global supply chain disruptions will continue to affect manufacturer costs, while rising health awareness and competition from better-for-you snacks may limit volume gains.
Functional repositioning to support long-term category resilience
Digitalisation and product innovation will play a critical role in the repositioning of sugar confectionery as more than just an indulgent treat. Companies are expected to introduce more functional and better-for-you variants, such as candies enhanced with fruit juice, multivitamins, herbal extracts, or probiotics.
B Corp certification and sustainability commitments reshape industry leadership
Sustainability is set to remain a defining theme for sugar confectionery over the forecast period. Ricola, a key player in the category, became the first company in the sector to achieve B Corp certification in 2023 an achievement that sets a new benchmark for the industry.
