According to the research report "South Korea Sugar Confectionary Market Overview, 2027" published by Bonafide Research, the Sugar Confectionary market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The market has been growing at a steady pace on account of the high demand from middle-class consumers in this country. The major market driver is the increase in disposable income coupled with lifestyle changes across the country. The sugar-free confectionery segment is expected to grow at a favorable rate during the forecasted period due to changes in consumer preferences. The market is led by the chewy sugar confectionery segment, with a very prominent market share. The adult group, consisting of a population between the ages of 20 and 55, leads the market due to the reason that sugar brings comfort, which is seen as important in otherwise chaotic lives. On the other hand, the younger population is now shifting towards a healthy lifestyle, which pushes them towards low-calorie consumption. By sales channel, convenience stores held a considerable market share due to the impulsive buying behavior of consumers towards sugar confectioneries. During the forecast period, e-commerce is expected to grow at a significant rate due to increasing internet penetration, convenience, comfort, etc. However, the easy availability of product substitutes, stringent government regulations about quality standardization, and supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic limited the scope of growth for the sugar confectionery market. The high cost of R&D activities, as well as the volatility of raw material prices, will stymie the sugar confectionery market's growth rate. Other market growth restraints include rising obesity prevalence, high sugar levels in patients, and a rising incidence rate of diabetes in the country. The constant desire to try new ethnic flavors and tastes is a major driving force in the sugar confectionery market. Over the years, the sugar industry has shifted its focus to producing healthier products. The growing health-conscious population is driving this trend. The ease of payment for products through online channels, as well as the wide range of sugar flavors and textures, are important factors driving the popularity of e-commerce in the sugar confectionery market. Furthermore, sugar confectionery is increasingly being used in the formulation of a wide variety of beverages and confectionery products, such as cakes, milkshakes, croissants, and hot sugar. Covid-19 The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on the confectionery market. The strict rules and lockdown implemented throughout 2020 have had an impact on the confectionery industry, causing a differential impact on raw material supply (agricultural produce, food ingredients, and intermediate food products), trade and logistics, demand-supply volatility, uncertain consumer demand, and affecting the workforce at the industrial level. One of the major factors affecting the confectionery industry during the lockdown was a drop in sales as a result of decreased gifting and impulse buying among consumers. However, the rising inclination and willingness of consumers to spend more on food items to counter the increasing COVID-related stress levels assisted in increased product demand amid the outbreak.
