In 2023, the production volume of sugar confectionery not containing cocoa in France stood at 146 million kilograms. Forecasts indicate a gradual decline in production from 2024 to 2028, with an average year-on-year decrease of approximately 2% over this period. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years is a negative figure, reflecting this declining trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changing consumer preferences towards healthier snack options that might continue to impact traditional sugar confectionery demand.
Innovations in sugar-free or low-sugar confectionery products potentially offsetting declines.
Market adjustments in supply chains and production efficiencies faced with fluctuating raw material costs.
Regulatory impacts on sugar content in food products influencing production trends.
