PROSPECTS

Sugar concerns prompt new product launches, but taste remains crucial

Although chocolate confectionery continued to see retail volume and current value growth in 2019, increasing concern around sugar consumption and its correlation with weight gain and food-related health problems is putting pressure on chocolate consumption in the UK. The “war on sugar” is not a new topic for debate, but is still headlining the media.

Premium segment grows as consumers eat “better but less”

Continued growth in the premium segment is expected to boost the overall performance of chocolate confectionery in the forecast period. The growing premiumisation and indulgence trends are expected to see more consumers turning to high-end chocolate as they adopt the “better but less” approach.

Organic and ethically sourced products are popular, but indulgence is paramount

Consumers are already paying attention to what they eat and where their food comes from. Increased awareness of cocoa sourcing saw ethically positioned products perform well in 2019, with more launches expected.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Mondelez UK maintains its lead, but premium mainstream players see growth

Mondelez UK maintained its lead in chocolate confectionery in value terms in 2019. It was the only one of the top three players to maintain its value share in 2019, as Mars Food UK and Nestlé UK saw share declines.

Premium private label growth makes price a key factor for manufacturers

The growing share of private label means branded chocolate manufacturers will need to prioritise price in order to win over shoppers. Consumers are becoming more demanding with their chocolate confectionery.

Innovative new flavours in old classics, more natural ingredients and repositioning to appeal to the adult market are all evident

Negative publicity for chocolate confectionery and the desire for guilt-free indulgence means that reformulation, variety and packaging innovation will be important to staying competitive. Towards the end of the review period players launched various new brands which followed different trends to maintain consumers’ interest.
