One key trend in this market is that the demand for confectionery products has exceeded the supply in the developing countries. Many people have switched from traditional homemade snacks to packaged confectionery products in these countries. Many vendors have opened their production units in these countries to exploit the cheap labor and raw materials and reduce the transportation costs. According to the report, the major drivers in the Global Confectionery market are the increased popularity of premium chocolates, introduction of new products, and innovations in packaging. Various alcohol-based premium chocolates, handmade chocolates, and dark chocolates are becoming increasingly popular among all age groups. Some premium chocolates are made from unique ingredients; for instance, Marou dark chocolate is made from trinitario cocoa that is cultivated on family-owned farms. Further, the report states that the increase in the price of cocoa and sugar has made it difficult for vendors to sell confectionery products at a constant price. The volatility in the raw material prices makes it difficult for confectionery manufacturers to sell their products at a stable price. The Global Confectionery market can be segmented into three categories: - Chocolate - Sugar Confectionery - Gum Key Vendors - Ferrero Group - Hershey's - Mars - Mondelez International - Nestl?
