Indulgence and Health In Confectionery

Key issues examined by this report

Concerns about marketing to kids. The concept of a ban on junk food is being debated around the world, as governments are choosing to step in and attempt to halt the increase in numbers of overweight and obese children and adults. Manufacturers including Kraft Foods, Mars, Nestl, Unilever and General Mills have agreed that they will not advertise food and drink on the television, in print or on the Internet to young children, or promote products in primary schools.Obesity levels rising. Weight management is a growing trend within the global food and drinks marketplace.

Although confectionery brands have been criticized for contributing to the rising number of overweight and obese people in the world, there is potential for credible and innovative brands to shake off this reputation and offer weight management products to people who are following low-calorie and/or low-fat diets.Stagnation drives innovation. The overall confectionery market does not have especially strong growth rates. It is an established, mature and long-standing category within the global food market, which is characterized by low but positive growth. Health offers new opportunities for growth.

Indulgence and Health in Confectionery

Emerging natural, functional and wellness trends.The global healthy food market is growing in value and volume year-onyear driven by rising levels of diet-related illnesses such as obesity, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease; as well as consumer interest in nutrition, and technological advances in the ingredients industry.

Some key findings from this report

The healthy image associated with dark chocolate is contributing to growth in chocolate's market value, but it is worth noting that the growth rate (CAGR of 2.3% in Europe and 3.8% in the US) will be lower than expected in other highly innovative confectionery categories, including gum and cereal bars.

The Spanish functional confectionery market has noted the strongest value increase in Europe from $51m in 2001 to $227m in 2011 (just behind the UK). Functional confectionery is attracting more attention than diet variants in Spain.Of all chewing gum products launched in 2007, 50.9% claimed to be healthy in some way.
