Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/11/2014 -- Sugar confectionery is a mature product category in Belgium where innovation, especially in terms of successfully targeting young consumers, is essential to maintaining growth. Operators of private label products are taking advantage of this situation, with their low prices. In fact, especially in sugar confectionary, consumers seem to be receptive to promotions - as compared to products such as chocolate confectionery where high-quality brands with a premium positioning, such as Merci (August Storck KG), are seeing growth.

Competitive Landscape

Sugar confectionery is highly fragmented and featured no player with a double-digit value share in 2013. In this context, Lamy Lutti NV was ranked as the leading operator, with a 9% value share. It was also the company that recorded one of the strongest rises in share, thanks to the positive performance in 2013 of its Lutti brand, especially among young consumers.
