Global Candy & Chocolate Manufacturing

The Global Candy and Chocolate Manufacturing industry has enjoyed growth over the five years to 2023, though much of the growth was price based. Rising cocoa and sugar prices have forced manufacturers to pass some of these costs onto consumers, propping up growth. Even amid the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, these prices climbed. Acquisition activity from the industry's largest manufacturers has enabled them to gain market share by expanding their product offerings. Industry-wide revenue has grown at a CAGR of 0.5% to $242.5 billion over the five years to 2023, including an estimated 1.3% jump in 2023 alone, when profit is set to dip to 8.2%.
