A Look Back, a Bite Forward: Market Trends
The market has witnessed steady growth, expanding at a CAGR of 3.8% historically.

Regional Outlook:
The United States is the star of the show in North American confectionery packaging, accounting for a whopping 93% of the regional market by 2027. This dominance is fueled by America’s insatiable sweet tooth, with confectionery sales reaching US$ 36.7 billion in 2020 alone. As candy consumption continues to climb, so does the demand for innovative and attractive packaging solutions.
Across the Atlantic, Brazil is emerging as a key player in Latin American confectionery packaging. The booming export market for Brazilian chocolates is creating significant growth opportunities for confectionery packaging manufacturers.
Meanwhile, Germany takes the cake in Western Europe. With a 6.1% share of the global market in 2022, Germany boasts a high candy consumption rate, particularly for chocolate and sugar confectionery. This strong consumer demand translates to a thriving market for confectionery packaging solutions.
From the US to Brazil and Germany, the global confectionery packaging market is being fueled by regional sweet tooths and a growing demand for innovative packaging.
