The Confectionery market in ASEAN is facing minimal growth, due to factors such as changing consumer preferences, increasing competition, and regulatory challenges. Despite the popularity of chocolate and sugar confectionery, the market is hindered by the demand for healthier alternatives and the rise of e-commerce.

This shift is also influenced by the rising trend of clean eating and the preference for food products that are free from artificial ingredients.

These trends are expected to continue, presenting opportunities for companies to adapt and innovate in order to meet changing consumer preferences.
