Global Candy & Chocolate Manufacturing - Industry Market Research Report

Global Candy & Chocolate Manufacturing

The Global Candy and Chocolate Manufacturing industry has grown sluggishly over the five years to 2019 as product prices declined but demand grew mildly across the industry. Chocolate consumption has remained strong in developed markets, such as Europe and North America, but the sugar confectionery consumption declined as health consciousness has driven more consumers away from sugar products. Developed markets remain the most prominent producers and consumers of candy and chocolate. These regions have experienced tepid growth overall with the candy segment struggling, but the chocolate segment remaining strong with robust consumption and trade volumes growing. The industry is expected to benefit from continual growth in emerging markets, improving trade and prices for sugar confectionery and chocolate. Additionally, demand for premium confectionery goods will likely continue to grow in saturated regions, such as North America and Europe.

Industry operators purchase and process sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, nuts, fruits, emulsifiers and flavorings, to create chocolate and other confectionery products. Final industry products include chocolate, chewing gum, hard candies, marshmallows and toffee.
