Hispanic Population Holds the Key to Sweet Profits for Candy Industry

New York, December 17/PRNewswire - Candy manufacturers looking for growth channels over the next five years should consider making a special effort to court the Hispanic consumer, according to The U.S. Market for Non-Chocolate Candy, a newly published Packaged Facts report available at MarketResearch.com. In an otherwise flat market, the Hispanic demographic, with its booming population and nearly $600 billion buying power, represents perhaps the biggest opportunity for confection marketers.

Overall, according to the report, Americans consumed $4.5 billion worth of non-chocolate candy in 2001; Hispanics are responsible for a large share of that spending. For example, Hispanic households consume twice the amount of Jolly Ranchers and Skittles candies as non-Hispanic white households.

"Marketers know that the Hispanic market has tremendously powerful consumer reach," said Don Montuori, Acquisitions Editor for Packaged Facts, "and several candy manufacturers are taking steps to ensure that their products are front and center when Hispanic consumers want to satisfy their sweet tooth."

To capitalize on this market, U.S. candy makers are busily launching Hispanic-targeted or Hispanic-friendly confections, picking up on popular fruit flavors such as mango (often in sour or hot versions) and the venerable Hispanic favorite, dulce de leche. Other U.S. manufacturers are acquiring manufacturers of Mexican candy, while U.S.-based divisions of Latin companies are packaging and promoting candy products for the American market.

The U.S. Market for Non-Chocolate Candy is the second 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. The reports also include historical sales data, as well as market projections through 2007.
