Competitive Landscape
Brands Capture Value by Localising Production and Mini Formats
Chocolate confectionery is becoming more concentrated, with brands like Gandour, owned by MO Gandour & Sons SAL, significantly expanding its share in 2026 as a result of its focus on affordability and local production. International players, such as Mars Inc with a 16% share of retail sales value, Mondelez International Inc with a 5% share and Ferrero with a 3% share, have seen their shares decline, primarily due to the impact of high import costs and global cocoa price inflation, which have made dollarised imports less competitive.
