Chocolate, Confectionery, and Desserts Packaging Opportunities – New Packaging Formats and Value-added Features

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The advanced packaging of chocolate, confectionery, and desserts typically signals good quality to aspirational consumers seeking more sophisticated products they perceive as ‘better’. Unusual formats, shapes, materials, and decorative effects enhance the sensory appeal for those wishing to trade up to products with a premium image. Enhanced usage experiences or opportunities for personalization increases the feeling of specialness and engages the consumer.

Convenience is a key factor and demand is likely to rise for packs that allow easy snacking on the go. A greater understanding of the need for packaging sustainability means that consumers expect companies to act responsibly, reduce packaging, and introduce formats that can be recycled easily. Growth in the use of paper-based materials is evident, but some brand owners are also exploring the potential for alternative resources like by-product waste or compostable materials. The chocolate, confectionery, and desserts packaging opportunities report explores new packaging formats and value-added features in the chocolate, confectionery, and dessert categories.

Chocolate, Confectionery, and Desserts Packaging Market Trends

Brand owners respond to consumer demands for greater packaging sustainability and pack formats that are designed for easier recycling. Moreover, packaging with reduced plastic content or alternative materials is becoming more commonplace.

Aspirational consumers actively seek higher-priced, often more sophisticated products in their quest for ‘better’ and the very nature of indulgence brings a heightened sense of enjoyment and excitement. Unusual packaging formats and attractive decorative effects increase the sensory appeal and help to convey a more upmarket image or the sense of something special.

Key Chocolate, Confectionery, and Desserts Packaging Opportunities

Chocolate, confectionery, and desserts are consumed on a wide variety of occasions throughout the year. Packs that evoke associations with the season and encourage interaction or add play value can provide fun for seasonal celebrations, while formats that facilitate sharing, such as those that transform into a serving dish, make life easy for the host and can create a talking point at a social gathering. 

Consumer awareness of environmental issues and the importance of packaging sustainability is growing. Hence board and paper have gained favor and even leading multinational brands are now switching to paper-based formats. Some brands are also looking to compostable materials, while others are making use of alternatives like quick-growing rye grass or by-products of the chocolate industry to cut the wood fiber content of paperboard packaging. Overt on-pack messaging improves transparency on green initiatives and can be used to good effect to engage consumers and help them to make positive purchases. 

Unique packaging presentations that engage the consumer in some way may appeal particularly to those seeking new products and experiences. The possibility for personalization or a more involved unboxing process can enhance the sense of specialness brought to gifting occasions or for those who are looking for something different in their desire to impress others. 

As society reopens after COVID-19, pack formats that are convenient for taking on the go will be in demand once more. Single-serve formats provide a handy solution for consumers and can help with portion moderation while small or pocket-sized packs are particularly useful for traveling or on-the-go occasions. Easy opening and closing are key features that improve user-friendliness but shaping for easier handling, spoons for eating, sharing formats, or neat dispenser packs all improve functionality and can make a pack more desirable and appealing to consumers.

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
