Synthèse
The confectionery market experienced a notable decline in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the global market valued at $188.52 billion. However, a recovery is forecasted with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% from 2021 to 2028, expecting the market to reach $243 billion by 2028. The French confectionery market, in particular, has shown resilience and witnessed a revival with a 14% growth in sales volume by 2022. Notably, traditional confectionery like chewy pastes and nougats saw a sharp increase, while sales of candies and lollipops grew by 10.5%, and sugar confectionery specialties by 21.8%. Innovation and a focus on natural, healthier recipes have driven demand.
Despite setbacks such as the 25% decline in the chewing gum market, the French market for confectionery products, excluding chewing gum, grew by 14% in 2022 to reach 1.2 billion euros, balanced by the strength of exports which constituted 35.8% of the production. In terms of regulations, the industry operates under strict hygiene and safety protocols, influenced by EC regulations such as nos. 178/2002 and 852/2004, which enforce traceability, food safety responsibility, and HACCP principles. The confectionery sector, while adapting to consumer expectations for decreased sugar and healthier options, saw prices rise by nearly 13% in 2023, due in large part to inflation affecting raw material, energy, and wage costs. Despite the challenging conditions, the confectionery market seems poised for sustained growth and evolution.
Evolving Trends in the Confectionery Market – Embracing Healthier Choices and Traditional Flavors
As manufacturers strive to align their offerings with the burgeoning demand for authenticity and naturalness, they have directed significant efforts towards reformulating recipes, eliminating controversial ingredients, and incorporating natural flavors and colorings. These adaptations cater to a consumer base that spans across age groups, depicting a diverse palette from children to the elderly, and contributes to the market's resilience. The French confectionery market specifically has navigated the complexities of the economic environment, maintaining an affordable indulgence for consumers with an average annual confectionery budget of between €35 and €40. Amidst the complexities introduced by the health crisis, confectionery remains a comforting and reassuring pleasure with a purchase frequency of about once per month.
On the global stage, the confectionery industry witnesses substantial competition, with a handful of global players like Mars Inc, Ferrero Group, and Mondelez International, dominating the market. The aggressive pursuit of healthier products is mirrored by the growth in the organic confectionery segment which, although still occupying a niche, is displaying growth, particularly in the organic chocolate confectionery sub-segment that saw an upward trend of over 50% within a year. Furthermore, the introduction of Nutri-score labeling provides a benchmark of transparency about the nutritional quality of food products, with an increasing number of consumers growing aware of and showing interest in the scheme. This reflects a broader inclination towards healthier eating habits and an awareness of the impact of consumption choices on overall well-being.
In conclusion, the confectionery market is at a crossroads, with health-conscious trends steering the industry towards a domain where the sweetness of indulgence meets the virtue of health, creating a dynamic market space that is both traditional and innovative, fixing its roots in familiar tastes.
