Innovation in Sugar Confectionery – EMEA
In Europe, consumers are looking to convenient formats to top up their vitamin and mineral intake. To broaden the appeal of medicated confectionery among consumers who are seeking better-for-you options, medicated confectionery brands are increasingly bolstering their products with vitamin and mineral fortification.
Innovation in Sugar Confectionery – APAC
Consumers in Asia are increasingly becoming health-conscious and have been taking a more holistic approach to their wellbeing since the global pandemic. Sugar confectionery with functional benefits offers consumers a convenient, often pocket-sized way, to bolster their wellbeing with minimum fuss.
- Over half of sugar confectionery consumers in China would pay more for confectionery with functional benefits.
Innovation in Sugar Confectionery – Americas
Consumer concerns about the health impact of sugar consumption play a significant role in consumer purchasing decisions. This has caused gum brands to focus on sugar-free innovation, and sugar-free claims have seen a significant spike in gum launches in the last 12 months in North America.
- Over a third of US gum or mint consumers in the US look for low/no-sugar options when buying gum.
