KEY FACTOR(S) INFLUENCING THE SUGAR TOPPINGS MARKET:
Increased Confectionary Consumption: Globally, there is an uptick in the consumption of confectionary. Confectionary consumption is especially high among children and young adults, attributed to the need for sugar to provide energy. Sugar-based confectionary such as chocolates, sweets, candies and cereal bars are increasingly being consumed across the world. Moreover, bakery confectionary such as cakes, doughnuts and pastries are also highly popular. This increased confectionary consumption is poised to accelerate the global sugar toppings market.
Growing Demand for Low-Sugar Toppings: As sedentary lifestyles become more prevalent, diseases such as hyperglycaemia, obesity and diabetes have also increased. Naturally, there is a shift towards consumption of low-sugar diets. Consequently, sugar-free confectionary consumption has leveraged, prompting key players to develop low-sugar toppings, thus augmenting market prospects.
COVID-19 IMPACT ANALYSIS ON MARKET
As the COVID-19 spreads worldwide, strict social-distancing laws to contain the virus would have a profound economic impact on a range of businesses. The post-pandemic scenario is anticipated to reduce investor’s confidence, dealing a sharp blow to expectations for near-term growth. In addition to the epidemic's rapidly rising human toll, we are heading towards a period of severe deterioration in economic activity, and ultimately financial asset prices. In these difficult times, rapid and unprecedented policy responses to both combat and mitigate these declines are crucial for firms to achieve sustainable development.
The demand for sugar toppings has already registered a significant dip, attributed to reduced consumption of desserts such as pastries and cakes as bakeries have ceased their operations due to nation-wide lockdowns. This has impacted the supply chain of key sugar topping manufacturers. Companies must, therefore, devise solutions to prevent a downward spiral in their supply chains.
