Competitive Landscape
Wrigley Secures Dominance as Challengers Struggle to Gain Ground
Gum remains highly concentrated, as William Wrigley Jr Co is set to retain its dominance with 64% retail value share in 2026, up from 62% in 2025. This substantial lead has not been meaningfully challenged, as the next largest competitor, Perfetti Van Melle SPA, holds just 5% share, although smaller players under "others" hold a combined 30%.
