Chocolate & Confectionery Production in the UK

The Chocolate and Confectionery Production industry is broken down into three subclasses: cocoa product production, sugar confectionery product and chewing gum production. Factors such as increasing health consciousness, volatile input prices and increasing competition from imported products contributed to downward pressure on industry revenue. The organic and fairtrade movements also gathered momentum over the past decade, which created niche segments and contributed to vegan and reduced-sugar products being produced more widely by chocolate producers.

This industry is broken down into three subclasses: cocoa product production, sugar confectionery production and chewing gum production. Cocoa products include chocolate, cocoa butter, cocoa fat and cocoa oil. The sugar confectionery segment covers the production of caramel, nougat, lozenges, toffee and fondant.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
