Halloween chewing gum and other candy-buying traditions, where 82% of the population participate, a major driving factor for growth in North America

The North American chewing gum market observed a growth of 3.8% in 2023 compared to 2022. Further growth is anticipated with the rising volume of health-conscious consumers in the region. Despite the rise in healthier eating, chewing gum sales have been favorable over the years. Consumers across the region are opting for sugar-free chewing gums after their meals or between their breaks. The average American eats 34 teaspoons of sugar a day, i.e., about 500+ calories. Moreover, 10% of the sugar in the average person’s diet comes from confectionery like chewing gum.
The United States is the largest-growing region in the market studied, accounting for a significant value share of 68.8% in 2022 in the market. This growth is majorly attributed to the availability of chewing gums in various shapes, colors, flavors, etc. In the United States, 45.5% of consumers prefer mint-flavored chewing gums, while fruit flavor is liked by 29.1% of consumers in 2022. The availability of gums in different flavors also promotes the consumer's buying power as they can purchase these products in accordance with their preferences. Likewise, around 82% of Americans participate in Halloween chewing gum and other candy-buying traditions.
The United States is also anticipated to be the fastest-growing region in the coming years, registering a CAGR of 5.37% from 2027 to 2029. For Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, and other holidays, the majority of Americans (about 80%-90%) purchase confectionery, which leads to a rise in the sales and consumption of chewing gums, especially sugar-based chewing gums. Hence, consumers embraced confectionery and gums as a kind of self-care and enjoyment, finding their inspiration on social media or as an impulse purchase in the grocery aisle.

North America Chewing Gum Market Trends

The strong production capacity across the region supported the market’s growth

North America is a heavy producer and consumer of chewing gums. As of 2022, Mexico hosted the largest gum factory worldwide, based in Puebla, where around 60,000 tons of gum, most of which are intended for domestic consumption, is produced per year.
Flavor is one of the most significant attributes when it comes to buying chewing gum. Some popular chewing gum flavors include peppermint, spearmint, watermelon, cinnamon, original bubblegum, and tropical. Labels have an impact even while purchasing a product like chewing gum. Terms like “natural” and “plant-based” on labels draw people in even if they do not know what those terms mean since they perceive them to be a healthier variant.
Consumers in the region prefer to buy gum in bulk packages in many retail stores for lower prices. The economic parameter is one of the important and major factors influencing the consumer’s gum-buying behavior in North America.
The market's growth is anticipated to be constrained by rising concerns about the adverse impacts of gums' hazardous elements, such as plastic and artificial preservatives. However, product innovations, such as incorporating natural ingredients and introducing new product flavors, are expected to aid the market’s growth during the forecast period.
