Gummy Candy Market Grows Rapidly in Japan

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In Japan, gum was the most popular snack until 2021, but sales dropped significantly as the coronavirus spread and people working in offices decreased significantly. At that time, gummy candy replaced gum and created a new trend.

Originally a snack popular with children, gummy candy's unique texture and numerous flavors made it a snack loved by many people of all ages and generations. Now, even adults eat it to improve their concentration while working.

As a result, the gummy candy market has boomed, having reached 97.2 billion yen (US$634 million) in 2023.

In response to this, gummy candy manufacturing factories are also actively investing in equipment. Nisshin Nyugyo Company Limited (Nagoya, Japan), for example, intends to add a gummy candy line to its plant in Kitanagoya, Japan, in 2027.

Specifically, many investments are made to add production lines and significantly increase production volume, and the scale of investment is often planned to be two to three times larger than the average investment amount for food factories.
