Classified on the product type, the chewy confectionery segment is highly common, and thus leading the market with a value share of 37.99% in the year 2015. Without a doubt, diabetes is one of the fastest-growing health challenges of the 21st century, which is also a root cause of different health issues. This is much likely to push the sugar-free segment in the coming years which is to make it the fastest-growing segment in the forecasted period. Through the forecasted period, the sugar-free segment is expected to be growing at an anticipated growth rate of 6.34%. However, the plain mint segment and caramel/ toffee segment in the year 2026 together is expected to hold a share of little more than 6%.

By terms of age group, the market is led by the adult age group segment which held slightly lower than 50% of the market share.

The segment is expected to be growing at an anticipated CAGR of 6.88%, backed by the growing preference towards the number of discounts.

In terms of region, Europe held to a high share in the year 2015, which was at 40%, given its high production capacity, already established dominance in the chocolate segment. However, on the other hand, with the increasing population and the spending ability, the Asia Pacific region is expected to become a promising potential market in the coming period. The increasing online shopping and rising social media campaigns in the region support the growth. In the year 2026, the Latin America market, along with the Middle East & Africa market is expected to contribute to a share of less than 10%.
