In 2024, confectionery in Canada witnessed a decline in total packaging retail volumes, decreasing by 4% to 4.0 billion units. The surge in cocoa prices prompted manufacturers to increase product prices, reduce pack sizes, and shift towards more affordable or reformulated products. Notably, even premium brands introduced smaller SKUs or multi-size formats. While unit sales declined, the actual volume of confectionery per pack also decreased due to shrinkflation and downsizing.
