This has led to a surge in demand for plant-based, gluten-free, and organic confectionery products. Additionally, there is a growing preference for locally sourced ingredients and traditional flavors, catering to cultural preferences. This shift towards healthier and more culturally relevant options is driven by the increasing focus on wellness and sustainability among consumers in the region, as well as the influence of social media and digital platforms in promoting these products.
Trends in the market: In Southeast Asia, the Confectionery Market within the Confectionery & Snacks Market of The Food market is experiencing a shift towards healthier options as consumers become more health-conscious.
