Chocolate confectionery accounted of nearly 50% of the total confectionery sales in the country in 2022. For a long period of time, the confectionary sector remained immune to changing health preferences of customers. Consumers have been demanding for healthier and more organic products for a while now, but their focus has largely been on the essential "mealtime" foods like meat, dairy, prepared foods, and bakery, to mention a few. Sales of low-calorie and sugar-free confectionery products have increased owing to increasing health awareness and obesity incidence in the United States.
Affordability of Wide Range of Products in New Flavours
Consumers are always willing to try new products, which offers them variety of options. Candy companies focus on making their products more appealing for kids by offering variety of products in terms of flavour and packaging. As a result, vendors in this industry must invest extensively in research & development to generate new goods with innovative designs, flavours, and packaging.

The demand for organic chocolate is increasing because it doesn't contain any added ingredients that can negatively impact the health of the consumer. As customers are prioritizing their health and wellness, they prefer natural, gluten and sugar free chocolates. Majority of confectionery companies are offering new chocolate flavours in inventive packaging that allows consumers to enjoy a tiny amount while saving the rest for later.

Impact of COVID-19 on United States Confectionary Market

One of the main factors that affected the confectionery industry during the lockdown was the reduction in sales as a result of fewer presents and purchases made by consumers across the nation. The confectionary market recovered after the lockdown due to the reopening of manufacturing facilities, and supply chain of companies started improving.
