As Mondelez makes a takeover bid for Hershey, Euromonitor International reviews what a takeover would look like in the competitive landscape.
Usurping Mars
Combined, Mondelez and Hershey will have a 18% market share and therefore overtake Mars as the world's leading confectionery player in 2016.
Competitive Footprint
Mondelez/Hershey combined share would exceed 50% in Mexico, New Zealand and Kenya and may therefore be subject to a regulatory review.
