Report highlights:
The Italian Confectionery market is largely led by the Chocolate category, which accounts for over 50% of the market by volume. This is followed by the Sugar Confectionery and Gum categories. Chocolate is forecast to register a relatively high CAGR among the confectionery categories with over 1% over the coming four years.

Future growth of the Confectionery market in the country is constrained by the prevailing economic slowdown. While economic growth is returning, consumer confidence is lagging behind, and this will limit growth in most consumer markets, including confectionery.

Italy has one of the lowest per capita volume consumption among the major markets, sitting just above BRIC nations. The weak Italian economy has led consumers to moderate their consumption habits. Confectionery is no exception, with consumers cutting back on snacking items.

Rising health and wellness concerns among consumers, including rising obesity and diabetes levels, is affecting the Italian confectionery market negatively. Italian women are slightly more health-conscious than men when it comes to selecting what Confectionery to eat. As a result, the dental health benefits of chewing gum will appeal to them more than to men.
