Sugar Confectionery in the United Kingdom

2023 was a negative year for sugar confectionery in the UK. Heightened costs across the supply chain, including transportation, energy, labour and raw materials such as sugar, resulted in double-digit price increases for the category. Inflationary pressures, combined with the general cost of living which has forced consumers to cut down on discretionary spending, meant declining retail demand for sugar confectionery during the year.
