Competitive Landscape
Mondelez and Ferrero Defend Value Share as Local Brands Regroup
Chocolate confectionery remains highly concentrated, with the two largest companies, Mondelez Trgovska Družba doo and Ferrero SpA, accounting for 25% and 22% of value share, respectively, in 2026.
Gorenjka and Šumi's Acquisition by as Holding Signals Stronger Regional Investment
A significant recent development is the sale of Podravka's confectionery unit, including the Gorenjka and Šumi brands, to AS Holding via UPI Star, which was completed in late 2025 and affects 2026. This acquisition transfers important local chocolate brands into the hands of a regional FMCG operator with a track record in brand development.
