Sugar Confectionery in the Netherlands

Volume sales of sugar confectionery declined in retail volume terms during 2025 but recorded healthy growth in current value terms. Consumers were put off by the recent price hikes, although many became more health conscious with their snack choices and sought to limit their consumption of sugar confectionery. There was some success for low sugar alternatives within the category, but these did not generate enough volume growth to fully compensate for the loss in revenues.
