PROSPECTS

Alternative chocolate types gain momentum

The dominance of milk chocolate is being challenged as new chocolate types are becoming popular. The release of Mars Wrigley Confectionery’s white chocolate M&M’s and Twix dark chocolate in 2017 are examples of brands that are following the consumer demand for healthier and higher-quality products.

Chocolate with toys as a new frontier for growth

Having previously been banned by the FDA as a possible choking hazard, chocolate with toys is now legal again in the US, with these products attracting a lot of attention. Ferrero USA Inc’s Kinder Joy was launched in the US in November 2017, thereby creating a new market for chocolate with toys.

Supply constraints likely to drive price growth

With cocoa prices climbing to their highest point in 16 months and ongoing shortages of truck drivers pushing up transport costs, companies like The Hershey Co have had to cut back on the production of some products. It has become too expensive to manufacture, deliver and market its wide range of products, and it has therefore decided to eliminate many of its seasonal products, and to focus its production on more popular items.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Ferrero emerges as the next big competitor

Italian giant Ferrero has embarked on a dramatic expansion effort in the US. While the company’s Nutella and Tic Tac brands are already popular in the US, Ferrero’s addition of Nestlé’s US chocolate business in 2018 has added large brands like Butterfinger and Crunch to its portfolio.

Milka Oreo drives growth for Mondelez

In 2017, Mondelez tried to acquire chocolate confectionery leader The Hershey Co for USD23 billion. Despite this, Mondelez has continued in its efforts to create organic growth in the US market.

Hershey and Mars continue to dominate

Hershey and Mars continue to hold the top two spots in chocolate confectionery in 2018. Hershey’s biggest launch in the past decade, Hershey’s Cookie Layer Crunch, and the constant new flavours being added to Mars’s leading M&M’s brand, are examples of how these companies stay on top.
