Note on methodology: All sales, plant and employee estimates are for confectionery operations only, unless otherwise noted. In addition, Candy Industry has attempted to factor out industrial chocolate sales and plants. All estimates come from a combination of manufacturer surveys, annual reports, media reports, private and published research, and analyst interviews. For most public companies, projections were made for fiscal 2018. In some cases, the previous year’s sales were used with a correction for growth from the current year’s reports. For most private companies, sales are estimated for calendar year 2018. Currencies have been converted based on the average exchange rate from January-October 2018, and are highlighted in red. Wherever data was lacking, information is noted as N/A (not available).
* Includes non-confectionery items
1 Includes part-time or temporary workers
2 See’s Candies has 1,500 year-round employees; 6,000 seasonally
3 1-800-FLOWERS.COM has 2,000 year-round employees; 8,000 seasonally
4 This only includes consumer goods. Natra also has sales of $139 million in industrial goods.
5 Clif Bar doesn’t disclose sales figures but experts believe the numbers could be near $1 billion.
