Confectionery Market
Confectionery is the set of food items that are rich in sugar, any one or type of which is called a confection. Modern usage may include substances rich in artificial sweeteners as well. Generally speaking, confections are low in nutritional value but rich in calories. Specially formulated chocolate has been manufactured in the past for military use due to its high concentration of calories.
Different dialects of English also use regional terms for items of confectionery -- confections. Thus we find "sweets" in British English; "lollies" in Australian English and New Zealand English and "candy" in American English (although this last term can also refer to a specific range of confectionery and does not include some items called confectionery, see below and the separate article on candy),
Confectionery items include sweets, lollies, candy bars, chocolate and other sweet items of snack food. The term does not generally apply to cakes, biscuits or puddings which require cutlery to consume, although exceptions such as petits fours or meringues exist. Speakers in the United States do not refer to these items as "candy"

Some of the categories and types of confectionery include the following:
Perfetti's range of chewing gums and candy brands worldwide include Alpenliebe, Air Heads, Bloop, Brooklyn, Chlor-mint, Center Fresh, Daygum, Frisk, Fruittella, Golia, Happydent, Mega Big Babol, Mentos, Morositas, Tabu, Vigorsol and Vivident.

Brooklyn was introduced for a brief while in 1996 and was The friendly neighbourhood panwallanow plays a key role in the growth of company's distribution network. Perfetti's products are stocked across an estimated 10 lakh (one million) outlets across the country of which 2.5 lakh are pan shops. withdrawn. Earlier this year, Perfetti entered the digestives market with Chatarpatar.
The global leader in the chewing gum market Wrigley's is also aggressively expanding its presence in India. In June this year Wm Wrigley acquired the worldwide Joyco gum and confectionery businesses from Agrolimen, a privately-held Spanish food conglomerate for €215 million. This cash transaction was for Joyco's operations in China, France, India, Italy, Poland and Spain along with Cafosa, its chewing and bubble-gum base business.
The deal gave Wrigley's a dominant position in confectionery lollipops and bubble gums in India since Joyco was a leader in the Indian confectionery business and brought the Pim Pom, Boomer and Solano brands into Wrigley's portfolio
Sugar-free chewing gum recently received a boost when a study revealed that the natural flavours found in Big Red, a chewing gum brand manufactured by Wrigley's can beat bacteria that cause bad breath, which means it is beneficial to teeth as well.
In India, the prevention of food adulteration rules have also done away restrictions against marketing of "sugar free" products in the confectionery category with the result that confectionery makers have jumped on the health benefits aspects of sugar free chewing gum.
For confectionery makers in India it doesn't seem to matter that sugar free chewing gum is a minuscule market simply because a new segment has been created which can only grow.
