In 2023, most chocolate confectionery categories have seen double-digit growth in unit prices as a result of rising production costs, such as added overhead costs for back-up power generation, and rising prices of raw materials. The costs of ingredients and other inputs are expected to continue to rise over the forecast period, which will see brands continue to increase unit prices.
Over the forecast period, chocolate confectionery is expected to record more muted growth in retail current value terms, and a continued fall in demand in retail volume terms. Trends are ever-changing, and since product research and development takes time, brands will need to stay agile and forward-thinking to remain competitive.
In January 2023, the South African government, in line with global trends, gazetted a draft of Regulations Relating to the Labelling and Advertising of Foodstuffs, which is open for public comment. The proposed changes in the draft regulation aim to ensure greater transparency, protect consumers against misleading claims, and promote healthier dietary choices.
