In 2023, the Netherlands dominated the European import of sugar confectionery containing cocoa with a notable share. Germany, the United Kingdom, and Belgium were other key importers, though the UK saw a decrease compared to the previous year. Positive growth was seen in Ireland and Spain, with significant percentage changes. Countries like Romania and Sweden reflected robust import increases, while Denmark and Slovenia experienced declines.

Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier options, impacting import volumes of traditional cocoa-rich confectioneries. Additionally, economic conditions and trade policies may influence import dynamics across countries, potentially boosting or dampening volumes.
