COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Fragmentation sees smaller brands challenge category leaders
Sweet spreads is a highly fragmented category in Taiwan, with many small local players and “others” accounting for the majority of sales, which increased significantly in 2025. Nevertheless, Unilever Taiwan Ltd remained the leading player overall, thanks to the enduring popularity of its Skippy peanut butter, which has a long-standing reputation for its smooth, creamy texture and is used in a variety of settings and recipes.
