PROSPECTS

Demand impacted by rising costs and consumer price sensitivity

The recent increase in VAT – by 1% - for the first time since 1994 resulted in the cost of soft commodities such as cocoa steadily rising over the review period, thus impacting chocolate confectionery. Some manufacturers such as Mondelez reacted by implementing price increases, thus passing on higher costs to end users.

Consumer health and wellness trend represents sales threat

While some consumers are reducing consumption of chocolate confectionery, many are also switching to premium chocolate, a trend particularly notable among some upper-income consumer groups. This has benefited brands such as Lindt in tablets, which experienced strong growth at the end of the review period.

Premiumisation trend continues, despite rising sugar prices

Rising consumer health awareness, increasing disposable incomes, product innovation and expanding retail distribution will all be instrumental to growth within chocolate confectionery over the forecast period. Moreover, chocolate confectionery is likely to continue to become more premium as the category becomes increasingly expensive.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Mondelez in pole position despite competition from cheaper and niche alternatives

Mondelez continued to lead chocolate confectionery in 2019, with the company’s Cadbury Dairy Milk tablet leading sales and Cadbury Lunch Bar remaining the most popular countline brand. However, the company lost value share during the year, partly due to growing competition from brands which are imported duty-free and the growing number of niche chocolatiers.

New developments encouraging chocolate consumption throughout the year

Towards the end of the review period, Mondelez South Africa added to its gift range by launching its Cadbury Heroes box assortment. This new product is aimed at increasing chocolate purchases during low consumption periods.

Premiumisation trend driving value growth and innovation

The new love for premium chocolate among South African consumers is making the chocolate confectionery market in South Africa attractive for players like Lindt & Sprüngli, which continued to post strong double digit growth during 2019. The continuous introduction of new innovative ranges such as Hello and Sensation Fruit line help to differentiate the company from competitors and to attract curious consumers, especially those from higher income groups who are attracted by quality options.
