The Confectionery market is on a roll.
At least the $124m valued market says so. With a remarkable annual growth of 5.04% for 2023-2028, the ever-increasing demand for wholesale confectionery in New Zealand is quite evident.
As much as people love to nibble on products like Whittakers chocolate, classic M&Ms, and much more, something tells us that the demand has more in store for you.
Even though the recipe for success in confectionery retail may include procuring bulk candy at lower prices, coming up with seasonal offerings, and having a robust marketing strategy, there’s a key tool that’s easy to overlook — variety.
Product diversification is no new term, but it’s fascinating how it influences buyer decisions. With an impressive variety of candies, chocolates, and other bulk confectionery products, you can ace your retail game with strategies like cross-merchandising and upselling.
Also, putting up jaw-dropping retail displays becomes easier with a decent variety of products. You just have to know what will perform and strike out what won’t. This blog will cover everything about the latest confectionery products that you can look out for.
