In 2022, the per capita consumption volume of chocolate and confectionary was just over 16 kilograms in Sweden. By comparison, in 2012, approximately 17 kilograms of chocolate and confectionary per capita were consumed. Since that year, the total consumption volume of chocolate and confectionary in the country decreased generally. According to preliminary figures for 2022, it amounted to roughly 171 thousand metric tons.
Leading players on the Swedish confectionary market
As of 2022, the American company Mondelez had the highest market share on the confectionary market in Sweden. Another large player was Cloetta. The Swedish company originates most of its revenue through the sale of sugar confectionery, but also with chocolate, pastilles and chewing gum under brands like Läkerol, Jenkki or Polly. It operates not only in the Nordic countries, but also in the Netherlands and Italy.
