While standard mints and boiled sweets are projected to decline over the forecast period, this trend reflects more than just changing consumer preference. It represents a broader structural shift driven by the growing popularity of functional alternatives.
Many confectionery companies are currently considering which product formats are most suitable for incorporating functional ingredients. If the application feels too disconnected from the product's original purpose, it risks consumer rejection.
Interest in gummies and jellies is increasingly driven by consumer demand for bold taste and engaging texture. Viral trends such as Swedish-style gummies and freeze-dried jellies in 2025 reflect a growing appetite for multisensory snacking experiences.
