Despite the presence of sub-markets such as Chocolate, Sugar Confectionery, Ice Cream, and Preserved Pastry Goods & Cakes, the overall market is struggling to grow. This can be attributed to the slow adoption of digital technologies, low health awareness, and limited convenience in online purchasing.
Customer preferences: As consumers become more health-conscious, there has been a rise in demand for organic and natural confectionery options. This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the negative effects of artificial ingredients and a desire for clean label products. Additionally, there is a shift towards indulgent yet healthier snacks, such as dark chocolate with lower sugar content, indicating a preference for guilt-free indulgence.

The market is also subject to strict regulations and quality standards, which have shaped consumer preferences and competition among confectionery brands.
