Manufacturers need versatile equipment to compete in chewy, gummy candy categories.
Gummy candies are truly unique. Typically a mixture of gelatin, sweeteners, flavorings, and colorings, gummies can be moulded into thousands of shapes, sizes and formats, making it one of the most versatile confections on the market. Since they were first developed, gummies and jellies have gained immense popularity around the world.
From novel texture claims, allergy-friendly options and active health claims to make-your-own-kits, product innovation is rife in the confectionery market. The global jellies and gummies market is projected to post significant growth, reaching a CAGR of 4 percent between 2016 and 2022. Key consumer trends, such as reduced calorie and sugar intake and the adoption of nutritious eating habits and healthier lifestyles, are expected to be driving this growth.
