Chocolate Confectionery to Witness Maximum Demand
Gums, chocolate, and sugar confectionery are major types of confectioneries.
The chocolate confectionery segment led the confectionery product type segment in the past and is expected to maintain dominance during the forecast years i.e., from 2018 to 2022. Rising trend of gifting chocolate confectionery items of different shapes and sizes is the major growth driver for the segment development. In addition, constant innovations due to the advent of organic ingredients, alcohol-based flavors, exotic fruits such as cherry and raspberry and nuts such as hazelnut in chocolate confections are also expected to spur the segment growth.
Furthermore, many leading players focus on expanding their product line by including functional ingredients, organic fillings, etc. to cater to the changing customer demands. This factor is also projected to contribute toward the segment growth over the next few years. For instance, Nestlé UK launched a new chocolate bar called Milkybar Wowsomes, which is also the world’s first product made using the company’s proprietary sugar reduction method. The new chocolate bar contains no artificial preservatives, colors, sweeteners, or flavors and has 30% less sugar content than other similar products.
