Confectionery Market Analysis by Top Leading Player and Forecast Till 2028

The global confectionery market size is projected to reach USD 242.53 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period. Rising health consciousness among consumers will play a key role in augmenting the growth of this market, shares Fortune Business Insights™ in its recent report, titled "Confectionery Market, 2021-2028". The market size stood at USD 188.52 billion in 2020.

Manufactured chocolate bars and candies are known to contain large amounts of artificial sweeteners. With increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders, even the most ardent chocolate-lovers are getting increasingly inclined towards organic and natural ingredients-based products. For example, the Swiss chocolate-maker Barry Callebaut's research found that the market value for organic chocolates currently stands at €30 million in Western Europe alone. This figure shows that the shifting consumer preference for chocolate and other confectionery items made from naturally-derived extracts will lead the confectionery market trends in the foreseeable future.

COVID-19 Impact:

In the early months of the pandemic, the halt on sugar and chocolate processing plants had a huge impact on food demand. For example, in reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, The Hershey Company voluntarily shut down all of its manufacturing facilities from March 16 to March 29, 2020. During the lockdown, supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, trade sanctions, and shipping and logistics fluctuations were all experienced. According to the CEO of the National Confectioners' Association (NCA), consumers ate more meals at home during the quarantine period, reduced their supermarket visits, and increased their satisfaction levels with online shopping.

Driving Factor:

Hectic Lifestyles to Foster Sales Opportunities

Global economic growth and development have led to an explosion of job and business opportunities. Greater access to education and skill development have expanded the number of employable people around the world, resulting in more working people and more office spaces, especially in large urban conglomerations. As a result, modern lifestyles have become more hectic and stressful, with unfortunate consequence being on health and fitness of people.

Therefore, many consumers are now demanding on-the-go confectionery snacks, preferably having low sugar and fat. Chocolate, owing to its numerous health benefits, is the most consumed product in the world, and many companies are now developing sugar-free and organic chocolate items to cater to the health-conscious urban populace. Furthermore, chocolate consumption has positive physiological effects. The Loma Linda University Adventist Health Sciences Center in California found, through a research study, suggested that chocolate consumption positively impacts brain health and reduces stress and inflammation.
