Confectionery Industry Ascending in Sales, Recent History and Predictions

The confectionery industry, despite an economy in recession, is ascending in sales and popularity.  Even with a health cautious world, chocolate, non-chocolate and gum sales are all predicted to rise as years pass by. However, the odds would seem to be against the confectionery industry, yet profit margins are expected to grow. With chocolate on top of the confectionery empire, it rakes in the majority of all confectionery sales yearly. Non-chocolate trails behind but still brings in a good share of the confectionery sales. Gum is responsible for the smallest share in sales.  Wholesale candy and candy store sales should stay strong despite increasing new players in the market.

Candy and The Quiet Revolution

Sources say there is a quiet revolution happening in the marketplace. Candy store sales of sugar-free, organic and other healthier-for-you snacks and candy are making the industry pay attention to consumer's dietary needs. New product lines debut each year promoting improved portion control, all-natural ingredients and a variety of nutritional benefits. The trend shows no signs of a downturn since analysts report these products have universal appeal from the elderly to young children.
