Report Highlights

The UK confectionery market, one of the worldÂ’s most developed, is showing signs of inertia and inconsistent growth, stemming to a large part from its degree of maturity and such factors as health concerns, all undermining the potential for further strong growth.

However, although volume growth is set to fall further in coming years, value growth is set to pick up pace, a sign of producersÂ’ efforts to leverage the chocolate and sugar confectionery segments and the strongly performing gum segmentÂ’s enhanced profitability due to the emergence of products such as medicated gums.
