Chocolate Confectionery in the United Kingdom

Following a period where inflation reached an historic 40-year high in 2023, the average unit price of chocolate confectionery in the UK increased by double digits. The heightened costs across the supply chain, including transportation, energy, labour and raw materials such as sugar, milk and cocoa beans, resulted in prices further soaring, and, combined with the general cost-of-living crisis, translated into another year of substantial reduction in the category’s retail volume sales.
