Confectionery Ingredients Market Drivers

Ingenious Sugar-Free Solutions In Hard Candies And Chewing Gum Are Projected To Drive The Growth Of Confectionery Ingredients Market:

Consumers of confectionery across the world are mindful of what they snack on and the amount of sugar they consume. The clean label trend is picking up in the confectionery sector too. Digestive wellness is another novel trend that is being significantly regarded by consumers in Europe and U.S. BENEO has developed a sugar-free solution in hard candies. These include sugar-free hard-boiled candies with Isomalt which is a tooth-friendly sugar replacer. Isomalt is the only bulk sweetener exclusively extracted from sugar beet across the globe. It is 100% sugar-free and assists in averting tooth decay. The hard candies with isomalt possess a sugar-like taste with a long-lasting flavor release. BENEO has also developed sugar-free solutions in chewing gum with Isomalt. This chewing gum has a low sticky gum center owing to the very low hygroscopicity of Isomalt. It has superior form stability of the center and enhanced machinability. A pure sweet taste with an evened sweetness profile characterizes this chewing gum. Innovative sugar-free solutions in hard candies and chewing gum are therefore fuelling the growth of the Confectionery Ingredients Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Emergence Of Nutritional Ingredients In Confectionery Is Expected To Boost The Demand Of Confectionery Ingredients:

Orafti® Inulin may be regarded to belong to the class of nutritional ingredients with advantages like enhancing the proportion of intestinal flora, minimizing count of food consumption calories, minimizing fat content, and boost in calcium absorption. The rise of nutritional ingredients like inulin in confectionery like chocolates is therefore driving the growth of the Confectionery Ingredients Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Confectionery Ingredients Market Challenges

Vanilla Shortage And Shrinkflation Are Hampering the Growth of the Confectionery Ingredients Market:

Vanilla is one of the most recognized and high-priced ingredients. Madagascar is recognized as the dominant vanilla producer of the globe. However, the continuing droughts and dubious working practices are limiting its production. The price of vanilla experienced an upsurge by 150% in 2015. This has been largely attributed to poor quality harvests and inferior quality beans. The inflated prices of vanilla have pushed firms to establish alternative strategies to avert sourcing the high-priced vanilla. Additionally, certain makers are resorting to shrinkflation to neutralize the soaring costs. As part of shrinkflation, the product price remains the same. However, the portion size reduces. These issues are thus hampering the growth of the Confectionery Ingredients Market.
