PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Affordability and impulse buying will fuel future growth
Sweet biscuits, snack bars, and fruit snacks is expected to see a positive growth trajectory over the forecast period. Although it is considered a mature category, impulse purchases will continue to play a major role in driving sales, particularly since during times of economic uncertainty, consumers often seek affordable, accessible indulgences to satisfy their cravings.
Oreo sets a new benchmark for innovation
Innovation remains a key tool for connecting with Ecuador’s increasingly discerning consumers, with Oreo differentiating itself as a leader in this space. The brand has invested in several high-profile launches, such as Oreo Coca-Cola -a collaboration that combines the distinctive flavours of both brands within a fizzy, candy-inspired filled biscuit, that has generated notable online attention.
Indulgence will continue to outweigh health and wellness trend
Within sweet biscuits, health and wellness will likely continue to be a secondary concern for most consumers. Products high in sugar continue to attract strong interest, and manufacturers often rely on chocolate-flavoured varieties - rather than those containing real chocolate - as a cost-effective way to meet this demand while keeping prices accessible.
