Competitive Landscape
Cadbury Extends Lead as Artisanal Sweets Remain Popular
Sugar confectionery in the Dominican Republic is highly fragmented, with the largest portion of sales (42%) attributed to a wide base of artisanal and independent sweet companies. These businesses specialise in traditional products such as jalaos, cocadas, dulce de leche with fruit, and pilones, which remain prevalent throughout the year and are especially significant during religious holidays such as Lent and Holy Week.
