Hard boiled sweets
A hard candy or a boiled sweet is a type of sugar candy that is prepared from one or more sugar-based syrups like Mylose and Glucomalt by boiling them in a temperature range of 302-356 °F. Hard-boiled sweets include stick candies, lollipops, Bêtises de Cambrai, and aniseed twists. Hard-boiled candies are extremely popular among children globally.
According to Manjunath Reddy, a lead food research analyst from Technavio, “The global hard-boiled sweets market is driven by the growing retail sector and new product innovations that come with exotic flavors. Besides, sugar confectionery products like hard-boiled sweets are often purchased on impulse and instinct; one can easily find these items near the point of sales and billing counters inside supermarkets, retail stores, and convenience stores.”
Global caramels and toffees market
Toffees blended with caramel are the second-most popular product segment in the global sugar confectionery market, as this segment had a market share of nearly 22% in 2016. These toffees are prepared by caramelizing sugar or molasses with butter, and occasionally flour is used.
“The rise in gifting trends of sugar confectionery products along with rapid urbanization and hectic lifestyles of consumers are the major drivers of this market. Mars, Mondelēz, Perfetti Van Melle, Grupo Bimbo, and Nestlé are the major vendors in the global caramels and toffees market,” says Manjunath.
