PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Sugar confectionary should see volume sales rise despite persistent cost pressures
Over the forecast period, sugar confectionery sales are projected to grow in both volume and value terms despite ongoing production cost pressures. Value sales will remain steadily solid while volume sales will continue to rise slowly but stay low.
Wellness legislation likely to prompt product reformulations
Regulatory developments will significantly influence sugar confectionery over the coming years. Beginning in 2025, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) will incrementally implement limits on added sugars in school meals, fully effective by 2027, impacting an estimated 50 million school-aged children.
Limited impact from GLP-1
The rise in popularity of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy has generated concerns across the broader snacks industry. However, their short-term impact on sugar confectionery specifically is likely to be minimal.
