Market Trends of Bangladesh Candy Industry
Growing Consumer Inclination Towards Sugar-free Candies
- The market's growth is attributed to the widespread impression that sugar-free candies are healthier than their conventional counterparts. The rising sugar consumption trends recorded in past years have been highlighted by the Bangladeshi government, further raising concerns as well as leading to the propagation of awareness programs to encourage consumers to alter sugar intake in their diet.
- Additionally, the rising number of diabetics in the country is fuelling concerns among the population, leading consumers to limit sugar and adopt sugar-free products in their diets. This factor has helped drive the growth of sugar-free candies in Bangladesh. Acknowledging the market prospects, several confectioners are coming up with sugar free-candy offerings. This, in turn, differentiates their offerings and broadens the customer base.
