Despite the positive developments seen in sugar confectionery, the category continues to face challenges due to its products’ high sugar content in light of growing health and wellbeing trends. This is likely to benefit sales of sweets such as mints and medicated confectionery, which are perceived to offer tangible benefits, while high-sugar indulgence sweets may struggle against this tide.
Candy Factory, a leading Italian confectionery manufacturing group, has acquired Monks, a historical brand of sweets produced by Akellas srl. This was confirmed in a press release issued in January 2024.
Innovation will remain one of the main drivers for sugar confectionery in Italy over the forecast period. Within this, we expect to see launches of new products with different flavours or formats, recipes revised in terms of ingredients (reduction of sugars or animal gelatine), and the development of completely new concepts.
