Love of "Power" Flavors Sends Market for Mints and Gum over $3.6 Billion Mark

New York, January 28/PRNewswire - Intensely powerful mints and gums are the nation’s latest favorite splurges, according to The U.S. Market for Gum, Mints and Breath Fresheners, a newly published Packaged Facts report available at MarketResearch.com. Flavors from various brands with names like "Shiver," "Mintensity" and "Dragon Fire Hot Imperial Cinnamon" are all enjoying notable popularity among the 60% of households that used gum, mints or breath fresheners in 2002.

Spurred by a taste for the hot and exotic, consumers are paying more attention to gums and mints - products that have historically been a checkout counter impulse buy. Consumers now view gum, mints and breath fresheners as a fashion accessory and marketers have responded with packaging that makes their products stand out.

"Gums, mints and breath fresheners make a statement, just like any accessory," said Don Montuori, Acquisitions Editor for Packaged Facts. "Consumers are aware that the products they are seen using say something about them. Logically, gums and mints with strong or intense flavors appeal to those customers who think they are powerful and extreme themselves."

Continued popularity of these products is projected to push total sales for gum, mints and breath fresheners to $4.3 billion by 2007.

The U.S. Market for Gum, Mints and Breath Fresheners is the third volume in a series of reports from Packaged Facts on the chocolate, candy and gum markets. The reports provide detailed information about consumer demographics, as well as distribution and marketing trends, product development, and emerging promotional campaigns.
