COVID-19 Impact Analysis


The rapid proliferation of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global crisis. Impacting over 195 countries, the pandemic has already created an economic downfall worldwide. The global pandemic is deemed to create a chaotic environment, resulting in a global recession. With the rapidly increasing number of cases, the global confectionery fillings market is getting affected in many ways.


The production of confectionery fillings starts with the procurement of raw materials such as chocolate, fruits, nuts, syrups, and many other ingredients. Among these raw materials, some are produced by suppliers and distributors. As the world is under lockdown, sourcing raw materials is difficult because of the urgent measures to control the spread of the coronavirus, such as physical distancing and limitation on transportation. The availability of labor is also a crucial factor, and the overall confectionery fillings manufacturing is facing a shortage of adequate laborers. Manpower is required to source the raw material, process it into the final product until the packaging, and transport it to the consumers. The migration of laborers to hometowns due to lack of availability of work is one of the major issues that every country is facing during the pandemic.


Market Dynamics


The confectionery fillings market has witnessed a significant growth rate over the last few years and is projected to register a 5.58% CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of bakery industry is the major factor driving the market growth. Also, increasing focus on visual appeal of food items is boosting the sales of confectionery fillings in the food industry. Moreover, rising demand for premium and healthy ingredients in the application areas is creating profitable opportunities for the manufacturers. However, rising incidence of obesity and health concerns are restraining the growth of the confectionery fillings market.


Drivers



  • Focus on the Visual Appeal of Food Items

In the bakery and confectionery industry, the main factor driving the market growth is the visual appearance of the product and the variety, and both of these characteristics are attained through the range of confectionery fillings available in the market. Bakery and confectionery manufacturers use confectionery filling for their products. Consumers are more inclined towards aesthetics, variety, and interesting flavors in the products. Suppliers of confectionery fillings also emphasize product innovation and expansion to meet consumer demands.

Restraint



  • Rising Incidence of Obesity and Other Health Concerns


The consumption of confectionery filling has been increasing at a high pace over the last few years. However, the rising obesity among consumers is one of the major restraints in the market. The food industry is witnessing challenges due to rising health concerns related to overconsumption of calories, fat, and sugar.

As per the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, about 43.64% of adults in the age gap of 20 years and above suffered from obesity during 2019-20 in the US. Obesity is linked to increased cardiovascular diseases of consumers. The fact sheet also showed that about 610,000 people die of heart disease in the US every year, accounting for one in every four deaths. The rising obesity has led to the consumers becoming more health-conscious, which is anticipated to reduce the consumption of confectionery products during the forecast period hampering the growth of the confectionery fillings market. Also, the rising diabetic population across several countries is anticipated to restrict the global confectionery fillings market. According to American Diabetes Association, more than 10.50% of the American population had diabetes in 2018. Thus, the rising obesity and diabetes among consumers is expected to create an obstacle in the growth of the market during the forecast period.


Opportunities

Market players are constantly introducing premium chocolate and bakery products because of rising consumer inclination towards superior quality and healthy ingredients. Due to the increasing awareness regarding the negative impact chemicals can have on human health, consumers increasingly prefer organically cultivated and processed products. Thus, the global demand for organically produced products is growing rapidly. Along with North America and Europe, the adoption of organic food products is increasing in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa. This has resulted in the growing demand for organic confectionery fillings. Moreover, the growing vegan population has also boosted the demand for vegan confectionery fillings. Such healthy trends and innovative confectionery fillings have created an opportunistic market for the key players operating in the confectionery fillings market.
