Chocolate Confectionery in India
TRENDS

The majority of manufacturers, including Mars International India Pvt Ltd and
Mondelez India Foods Ltd, are expanding their premium chocolate confectionery
offers in India. Premium chocolate products are mostly available in modern retail
channels, such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, and chemists/druggists across India,
though they are also slowly penetrating rural India as well.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Mondelez India Foods Ltd remained the largest player in chocolate confectionery in
India in 2016, holding a 49% value share. While increasing penetration and the launch
of smaller SKUs helped Mondelez achieve 8% value growth in chocolate
confectionery in 2016, the company lost share during the year, with smaller players,
outside the top eight, making notable gains.

PROSPECTS

Chocolate confectionery value sales are expected to see a constant value CAGR of 8%
over 2016-2021, to reach INR162 billion. Increasing availability in rural India and an
expanded offer will contribute to chocolate confectionery growth during the forecast
period.

Confectionery in Asia Pacific


Confectionery in Asia Pacific witnessed a slowdown over the last
couple of years, driven by weakening demand in China. This was
partially offset by the strong performance of India, where
international confectionery players are expanding their,
predominantly premium, product offer. Indeed India generated
almost as much in additional sales over 2011-2016 as China, despite
the market being five times smaller. Ferrero saw amongst biggest
growth in the region, followed by Cadbury and Galaxy/Dove.

INDIA CONTRIBUTED ALMOST AS MUCH


AS CHINA TO THE REGIONS ABSOLUTE
GROWTH IN CONFECTIONERY SALES
OVER 2011-2016, MAKING IT AN
IMPORTANT MARKET IN WHICH TO
OPERATE
Indias confectionery market is five time smaller than Chinas, but is increasing in
importance. It has received a lot of interest from multinationals seeking to increase
penetration and ramp up production. International manufacturers dominate the Indian
confectionery market, with the top four holding a market share of almost 60% in
2016. Their brands have a strong image among urban households, as well as broad
availability. However, international brands shares are falling year-on-year due to the
increasing availability of domestic brands.

CHINESE MARKET SLOWED DOWN OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS BUT
EXPECTED TO PICK UP AGAIN

The Chinese confectionery market saw declines in 2015 and 2016, owing to Chinas
economic slowdown, as well as consumers reducing confectionery intake for health
reasons. New product development in chocolate was limited in 2016 compared to
other snack foods, such as nuts, as many leading confectionery manufacturers have
cut their budgets for product innovation. This has led to a slowdown in demand, as
consumers are typically drawn to novel line extensions. The Chinese market is,
however, expected to recover, albeit at a slower rate than seen previously.

BUBBLE GUM LOSING THE MOST ACROSS CONFECTIONERY


Strong declines in bubble gum were seen across Japan and China, due to an ageing
population. While gum remains popular among some young urban consumers, it is
increasingly seen as impolite among society as a whole.

INTERNATIONAL CHOCOLATE BRANDS HAVE OUTPERFORMED THE


COMPETITION

Ferrero, Galaxy/Dove and Cadbury have seen strong growth in the region, in what is a
fragmented and competitive market. Premium positionings and gift giving have
helped drive growth, and all three companies have expressed continued commitment
to investing in the region.

The global confectionery industry revenue is estimated to reach $176 billion by 2018 with a CAGR of 3.0% over the
next five years (2013-2018). Rising disposable income, increasing awareness of health and wellness, higher
population, and consumer spending are the major industry drivers.
