Candy Production in Canada

Canadian candy producers manufacture nonchocolate candy, like marshmallows, toffee, caramel, granola bars and chewing gum. These producers sell products to retailers and wholesalers for redistribution to consumers. That's why Canadian candy producer performance relies on domestic demand and global demand, since exports will generate more than half of candy production revenue in 2023. Although some candy products, like breakfast bars, have swelled in popularity, boosting health consciousness has soured demand for candy products. Plus, imports have satisfied a strengthening share of the domestic market compared with historical performance. As a result of these trends, revenue will only inch up 0.7% to reach $1.2 billion over the five years to 2023. This includes an anticipated 2.6% boost in revenue in 2023 alone as the economy continues and largely completes its recovery from COVID-19.
