MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
Confectionery is a product that contains mostly sugar, to which are added flavors and dyes. Presented in various forms and textures (jelly beans, lollipops, chewing gums ...), they are aimed at both children and adults.
The French market has experienced difficulties related to the health crisis and changes in consumption, but it is still a market that attracts both children and adults. like the global market, the French market should also continue to grow, in fact, it has been estimated at 197 billion euros in 2021, and it is expected to continue to grow with a CAGR of 3.8% until 2028.
Apart from the covid-19 crisis, the changes in consumption habits, towards a food less rich in sugar, forces manufacturers to adapt. They are developing healthier products (less sugar...) and pooling their resources. Indeed, these last years have been favourable for acquisitions and mergers between companies (creation of Carambar & Co and merger with Lutti for example).
Smaller manufacturers (e.g. Kubli), on the other hand, are focusing on traditional products, aimed at relatively older customers, or on regional products.
The challenges for the sector are therefore important (economic, sanitary, technological) but leave opportunities, especially in the niche markets.
