2022 DEVELOPMENTS

Return to growth
In 2022, sugar confectionery is likely to record a return to both value and volume growth
following two consecutive years of decline. Sugar confectionery is likely to see the beginnings of
recovery in 2022 as consumers become more open to going out, thereby creating more
opportunities for impulse purchases.
Since sugar confectionery is highly discretionary, consumers are not likely to actively seek it
out if they are confined to their homes, unless companies stimulate demand through activities
such as promotions, especially given the prevailing financial challenges facing many
households. As a result, the recovery that sugar confectionery does see during the year is set to
be driven by impulse buying, which will come with the easing of COVID-19 related restrictions
and consumers spending more time outside their homes.
Sugar confectionery recorded a marginal decline in 2021, following a marked fall in sales in
the previous year. While medicated confectionery recorded slight growth in 2021 as it benefited
from demand related to the spread of COVID-19 and its capacity to alleviate some symptoms of
the disease, the majority of the categories in sugar confectionery continued to struggle due to
widespread home seclusion, which greatly decreased the incidence of impulse purchases
during the year. The pandemic has also led to widespread financial insecurity with
unemployment rocketing to its highest level in 15 years, due to the economic impact of the
measures taken to control the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This led to decreased spending,
especially on non-essential items such as sugar confectionery, as consumers focused on
purchasing necessities such as food staples. Furthermore, when it comes to sugar
confectionery in the Philippines it is common for local and affordable brands to be sold by the
piece through sari-sari stores and street vendors. However, these channels were hit particularly
hard by the stay at home trend.
Another factor hampering growth is that chews, marshmallows, lollipops and yemas (sweet
custard other sugar confectionery made with egg yolks and condensed milk) are all included in
the list of foods not allowed to be sold in school canteens and stores within 100m of school
premises in Quezon City, which was released in June 2018. Pasig City, Cebu City, Davao City
and Muntinlupa City also introduced similar bans at the end of the review period. This is
hampering the growth of sugar confectionery, particularly as children are the main consumers of
these products.

Companies adopt adaptive strategies

Companies are adopting a variety of strategies to cope with the challenges of the present
situation. In the first half of 2021, the leading company, Universal Robina Corp, was able to
recover and pull its sugar confectionery business out from its double-digit decline of the previous
year. Universal Robina Corp’s effort to innovate in flavour assisted in its recovery in the first half
of 2021. After launching a milk tea flavour for Jack 'n' Jill XO in the first quarter of the year, it
introduced a strawberry milk flavour variant of Jack 'n' Jill Lush in the second quarter. Through
the milk tea product, the company aimed to benefit from the popularity of milk tea in foodservice.
Since consumers could not access milk tea shops/stalls/kiosks as easily as before due to
COVID-19 restrictions, Universal Robina identified the opportunity to address the cravings of
Filipinos for milk tea with its new Jack 'n' Jill XO Milk Tea flavour. Filipinos who were
homebound but still desired to have milk tea could now look to replicate the experience in the
form of the new line of boiled sweets.
Tic Tac, meanwhile, tried to make its brand relevant to the current situation with the launch of
the “It’s Good to Chill” marketing campaign in the middle of 2021. The brand held an event
attended by popular celebrities and social media influencers who shared what they do to relax
or “chill”. With the spread of COVID-19 creating new stressors in consumers’ lives, Tic Tac
developed the campaign to remind people that it is okay to take a breather. Learning how the
celebrities cope with stress also gave other people ideas about how they could cope with the
current situation in a healthy way.

Further new product developments

As well as Universal Robina Corp’s efforts to address the challenges facing its sugar
confectionery business by launching new flavours, the category has seen new product
developments by other players. Frutos launched a milk tea flavour in a chewy candy format in
the second quarter of 2021. Frutos was following the lead of Universal Robina Corp’s milk tea
flavour for Jack 'n' Jill XO. In addition, the second quarter of the year saw the launch of Halls
Salt, which is available in two flavours, Halls Salt Watermelon and Halls Salt Lemon Lime. The
product stands out as it is a fusion of two flavours, fruity and salty, which is not widely seen in
the category.

PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Gradual recovery ahead

Sugar confectionery is expected to see a slow recovery over the forecast period. While the
category is set to see current value sales reach pre-pandemic levels by 2024, it is not expected
to fully recover in volume terms until the final year of the forecast period. Sugar confectionery is
likely to grow alongside an increased willingness amongst consumers to go out, as impulse
purchases make a key contribution to the category’s sales. In the Philippine market, it is
common for local brands of sugar confectionery to be sold by the piece through channels such
as sari-sari stores (traditional neighbourhood stores) and street peddlers/vendors, which are
strongly reliant on impulse purchases by consumers on the go.
However, the highly discretionary nature of sugar confectionery is likely to continually work
against it as households which face financial challenges in the wake of COVID-19 are likely to
have to sacrifice non-essential items until the situation improves. Also, individuals who are
looking for a treat or to relieve stress are more likely to turn to more indulgent packaged food
such as ice cream or chocolate confectionery. Nevertheless, sugar confectionery is particularly
popular amongst children, and as consumers regain their spending confidence they are

expected to return to spending on their children. These products are cheap, especially local
products, and are seen as an easy and largely affordable way of treating children.

Poor prospects for power mints

Power mints is expected to be a laggard in retail over the forecast period, registering a
negative CAGR in both volume and value terms. The category’s poor performance will be
mainly due to the limited brand options available. In addition, power mints faces strong
competition from standard mints, in which there are notably more brand options available.
Furthermore, the distinction between standard mints and power mints is not very well-known
amongst ordinary consumers who are typically price sensitive and favour affordable options or
those which are more widely distributed.

Lingering price sensitivity and growing focus on sugar’s role in health

problems
Price sensitivity is likely to be heightened in the early part of the forecast period given the high
unemployment rate in the country and high rates of inflation. In this context, many consumers
will simply forego discretionary purchases such as sugar confectionery. Those that do continue
to purchase such products, meanwhile, will look for the most affordable options. While
premiumisation is likely to be a notable feature of some indulgence-orientated categories such
as chocolate confectionery and ice cream, as consumers look for simple luxuries to relieve
stress, this is much less likely in sugar confectionery. Sugar confectionery does not have an
established high-end segment comprised of products with a high-quality image.
With the cost of raw materials increasing, the expected upward trend in selling prices is
another challenge companies are likely to face during the forecast period. In order to maintain
accessibility to their products, companies may create smaller pack sizes in order to provide
options to consumers with a tight budget.
The ongoing health and wellness trend, which has been enhanced by the experiences of the
COVID-19 crisis, will also serve to dampen sugar confectionery’s recovery over the forecast
period. The lack of a strong premium segment with a high-quality image will contribute to this as
it does not offer consumers the option of trading up to prioritise quality over quantity, as is likely
to be seen in areas such as chocolate confectionery and ice cream. Sugar confectionery is also
particularly vulnerable to shifting consumer attitudes to health because of the increasingly strong
focus on sugar’s role in the development of a wide range of health issues, including type 2
diabetes, hypertension, inflammation, fatty liver disease and obesity.
