PROSPECTS

Uptick in category sales with longer 2019 holiday season

US chocolate sales saw a slight slowdown in 2018, but they picked back up in 2019. Easter in the US has traditionally made a significant impact on chocolate sales, and this held true in the past couple of years.

Promising growth for chocolate in the e-commerce channel

Internet retailing has been growing strongly in the grocery space over the last few years. While products that are refrigerated or frozen are slightly more difficult and more expensive to ship, shelf-stable products are relatively simple to deliver to consumers.

Consumers becoming more accepting of reduced-sugar chocolate products

Consumers have been seeking out ways to reduce sugar consumption for years as they are taking a more health-conscious approach to eating. Some consumers choose to avoid traditionally high-sugar products, and others seek out reduced-sugar or sugar-free alternatives to sugary products.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Innovation less prominent in chocolate than other confectionery categories

As we see elsewhere in the packaged food world, consumers tend to seek out innovative new products when it comes to confectionery products. Younger consumers do not feel tied to the same classic chocolate products that their parents and grandparents used to eat.

Ferrero successfully launches Kinder Joy in the US after long-standing ban

The US has for a long time banned the sale of Ferrero’s Kinder Surprise egg in the country due to choking hazards caused by a toy being contained inside the chocolate confectionery product. In early 2018, Ferrero finally launched a modified version of this Kinder Surprise egg called Kinder Joy.

Strong growth for private label products in the chocolate category

Private label products performed very well in 2018 when compared to the rest of the confectionery market. Part of the success is simply due to consumers being more open to purchasing private label products - they are increasingly viewing these products as great value for the price.
