Monthly consumption of confectionery goods per capita in Poland 2012-2023

The average consumer in Poland ate 270 grams of confectionery goods per month in 2023. This was a slight increase compared to the previous year. The lowest result was recorded in 2016, with 210 grams per capita. 

Confectionery production

     The number of chocolate and sugar confectionery manufacturers in Poland fluctuated over the years, amounting to 437 enterprises in 2019. The irregularity in the number of manufacturers reflects Poland’s confectionery production value, which has decreased drastically since 2015. In 2020, the sold production volume of sugar candies amounted to just over 33 million kilograms, also a decrease compared to the previous years.  

Confectionery trade flows

     The smaller national production volume results in a steadily increasing import value of sugar confectionery, which amounted to over 245 million euros in 2021. Furthermore, the import volume reached an all-time high record of 832 metric tons. Despite this, the country remains a significant exporter of sugar confectionery products. In 2021, Poland exported nearly 1.18 thousand metric tons of candies and related products.
