TRENDS

Sugar confectionery posted current value growth of 2% in 2017, with sales reaching JPY382 billion. This growth was mainly fuelled by the popularity of power mints and pastilles, gums, jellies and chews, with most other areas seeing a decline in sales. Power mints are a popular alternative to gum, offering a more convenient option to refresh the breath. Within pastilles, gums, jellies and chews, gums and jellies are performing especially well due to aggressive product development and the offering of new types of textures and tastes. On the other hand, hard candy such as boiled sweets, lollipops and medicated confectionery are struggling due to increasing maturity.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Asahi Group Foods continues to lead sales and is set to post a value share of 10% in 2017. The company offers a wide product portfolio in boiled sweets, medicated confectionery and power mints and is particularly strong within the latter area, with its Mintia brand set to account for 59% of value sales in 2017. In addition, under the Mintia rage, the company launched its new sub-brand, Mintia Breeze, in 2014. After the launch, Mintia Breeze performed well and accounts for nearly 30% of Mintia’s sales. Mintia Breeze is positioned as a premium brand and has a larger tablet size than Mintia, which is marketed as offering five minutes cooling sensation per tablet. By offering both standard and premium types of power mints under its Mintia brand, the company continues to maintain its prominent position in sugar confectionery and is also expected to register the strongest growth in 2017, with current value sales set to rise by 7%.

PROSPECTS

Sugar confectionery is expected to post a value CAGR of 1% at constant 2017 prices over the forecast period, with sales reaching JPY406 billion by 2022. Constant growth will mainly be fuelled by a continuous positive performance in power mints and pastilles, gums, jellies and chews. Power mints are perceived as being ideal for refreshing the breath for any occasion and time, with many consumers, especially working professionals, always having them on hand. In addition, the increasing number of working women will also help to boost sales of power mints over the coming years. Gums and jellies are set to remain popular items among female consumers, who enjoy fruit flavour gums and jellies as quick snacks wherever they go. Since major manufacturers tend to focus on product development in these sectors, the constant development of new textures and flavours is likely to contribute to better performance over the forecast period.
