Mobile phone cards, soft drinks and savoury snacks are still eroding the confectionery market, new figures published in The Grocer this week suggest.
The rival markets are singled out for causing yet another decline in the fortunes of countline chocolate and sweet offerings, the value of which has fallen by almost 8% in the last year.
Countlines, including some of Britain’s best known and loved chocolate bars, suffered the biggest decline of the whole confectionery market, according to the figures from Taylor Nelson Sofres’ Superpanel in the 52 weeks to June 23, with overall sales dropping by £60m to £1.04bn.
Overall, the entire confectionery market was also down, by 1%, but is still worth a massive £3.62bn at the till.
Full details can be found in this week's copy of The Grocer magazine available at WH Smiths and all good newsagents.
