According to the research report "Canada Gum Confectionary Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Canada Gum Confectionary market is anticipated to grow at more than 1.75% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. Sugar-free gum products are becoming more and more popular in Canada, a development that can be attributed to rising consumer knowledge of oral health and the negative effects of sugar on general wellbeing. Increased customer preferences for clean label products are reflected in the increased popularity for gums with natural components and organic certifications. Gum tastes vary widely among Canadian customers; classic flavors like fruit and mint are available, as are more unusual choices like tropical fruits or herbal infusions. In order to lessen their influence on the environment, businesses are coming under more and more pressure to use sustainable packaging materials, such recyclable or biodegradable alternatives. Customers are more likely to support companies that exhibit responsible environmental policies and ethical sourcing across their supply chains. Online stores are growing in popularity in Canada as a way to buy gum candy since they are convenient, have a wide selection of products, and frequently have affordable prices. Direct-to-consumer business strategies are being used by brands to build stronger bonds with consumers, acquire consumer data, and provide special offers or merchandise.

In Canada, sugared gums have long had a dominant position in the gum candy industry. In order to keep consumers interested, brands in the sugared gum market are continuing to innovate by providing a variety of tastes and packaging choices. They frequently serve a wide range of customers, including some who might not be actively avoiding sugar or who don't care as much about following strict dietary guidelines. In the sugar-free market, brands are always coming up with novel tastes, useful substances (like xylitol for oral health), and creative packaging. Their rising popularity is partly due to educational programs that highlight the advantages of sugar-free gums for dental health and for reducing sugar levels. Sugar-free gums are becoming more widely accessible through a variety of retail channels, such as internet retailers, pharmacies, convenience shops, and supermarkets.

Younger consumers looking for gum goods that are interactive and inventive tend to find this style appealing. Because of its familiar style and ease of use, stick gum continues to be a popular option among Canadian consumers. Stick gum's rise has been attributed to the growing demand for sugar-free varieties, which is in line with consumer tendencies toward healthier eating. In Canada, pellet or pillow-shaped gums are becoming more and more popular because to their small size, mobility, and distinctive taste. Pellet gums' compact size and resealable packaging satisfy consumers' desires for portion control and on-the-go consumption. In Canada, consumers are becoming more and more interested in liquid-filled gum products because of their unique flavor and feel. Companies are increasing the range of flavors and functional ingredients—like vitamin-enriched or energy-boosting formulations—that they offer in their liquid-filled gum products.

Considering a significant share of sales, supermarkets and hypermarkets are the main distribution outlets for gum candy in Canada. Due to the ease of one-stop shopping, gum is frequently purchased by customers on their routine food shopping excursions. To improve exposure and stimulate impulsive purchases, brands use positioning techniques, discounts, and promotions. Particularly in metropolitan regions and busy places, convenience shops are essential to the dissemination of gum candy. In order to serve customers who shop after regular business hours, several convenience stores keep longer hours. The convenience of browsing and buying gum goods from the comfort of home or via mobile devices is provided by online shopping for consumers.
