PROSPECTS

The health benefits of cacao boost the growth of chocolate confectionery

Chocolate confectionery is anticipated to post positive value growth at constant 2018 prices over the forecast period, due to cacao’s health benefits. Cacao is effective in reducing blood pressure, preventing arteriosclerosis, obesity and cancer, and minimising stress levels and the effects of allergy and rheumatism.

Flavour innovations continue

While Japan embraces many new products almost weekly, including new concepts and new flavours among existing brands, 2018 was notable for mint-flavoured products. Choco-mint is a popular flavour of ice cream: different from chocolate with a hint of mint or a mint centre, choco-mint typically has a photogenic light green colour with the content being white chocolate or vegetable oils with crushed chocolate.

Premium concepts accepted by wider consumer segments

Although premium concepts were mostly limited to boxed assortment in Japan in the earlier years of the review period, there was a strong premiumisation trend seen among other types of chocolate confectionery in the later part. During 2014-2016, premium versions of existing brands were launched with premium ingredients.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Meiji Co Ltd continues to lead chocolate confectionery

In 2018, Meiji Co Ltd is expected to remain the leading player in chocolate confectionery in Japan, mainly due to its significant presence in tablets and chocolate pouches and bags. The company led the premiumisation of chocolate with the bean to bar and cacao origin concepts during the review period with its smash hit brand, Meiji The Chocolate.

Morinaga & Co starts the choco-mint boom in Japan

Morinaga & Co Ltd is expected to continue to rank third in chocolate confectionery in Japan in 2018, thanks to its strong presence in chocolate pouches and bags. The company saw a positive performance in its long-selling brand, Choco Ball, in 2017.
