The Australia confectionery market is adapting to the evolving consumer preferences, particularly a shift towards healthier options with lower sugar and fat content. With growing concerns about obesity, consumers are gravitating towards sugar-free and fat-free confectionery, prompting operators to expand their product offerings. Additionally, the rise of the vegan trend has led to an increase in vegan confectionery products on the market.
