Market Growth Factors
The Russian confectionery market is driven significantly by increasing domestic consumption. The average per capita confectionery consumption is 26.3 kg, with flour-based products like biscuits and wafers making up more than half of this consumption. Chocolate and chocolate-related products hold the second position, followed by sugary treats such as marmalade, marshmallow, and caramel. Enhanced consumer spending power and cultural affinity for confectionery during holidays and special occasions further boost demand.
The expansion of export markets is a fundamental factor catalyzing market development. Russian confectionery, especially chocolates, enjoys growing popularity internationally, with strong demand in neighboring countries including China, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Uzbekistan. In 2023, exports reached 452,000 tonnes worth over $1.2 billion between January and September, with expectations to increase total exports to $1.65 billion-$1.7 billion by the end of the year. Government policies supporting trade agreements and export incentives enhance global competitiveness, expanding reach into 93 countries from 90 the previous year.
Innovation and product diversification are also key drivers. There is an evident trend towards healthier products like sugar-free and organic confectionery to meet health-conscious consumer preferences. The introduction of premium and artisanal products caters to consumers willing to pay more for quality. For example, SELL-Service launched grated cocoa in November 2023, selling over 160 tons and generating ₽66 million ($740,949) revenue. Seasonal and limited-edition offerings contribute to sales spikes during festive periods, ensuring continued consumer engagement and attracting new customers.
