PROSPECTS

Sugar confectionery taking consumers away from gum

Pastilles, gums, jellies and chews remained the largest category within sugar confectionery in 2019. The category includes chewy jellies known as gumi in Japanese.

Small packs help drive medicated confectionery’s turnaround

Having seen sales decline throughout the early part of the review period, medicated confectionery registered its second consecutive year of growth in 2019. Product innovation, primarily in boiled sweet variants, helped to turn around the performance of medicated confectionery at the end of the review period.

Growing focus on functional sugar confectionery

Functional sugar confectionery is developing rapidly in Japan, with functionally-orientated innovation occurring across many sugar confectionery categories. Boiled sweets, medicated confectionery and pastilles, gums, jellies and chews saw particularly notable trends towards functional products towards the end of the review period.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Kanro working in tandem with Kunitachi College of Music

In 2019, Kanro Co Ltd, the fourth largest player in sugar confectionery, maintained a trend of year-on-year share growth that persisted throughout the review period. The company offers a broad product portfolio in sugar confectionery, and has been active in developing new flavours in boiled sweets and medicated confectionery.
