Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2018 -- A great market potential in emerging economies provides huge growth opportunity for confectionery packaging manufacturers

Emerging markets such as India, China, and Africa etc. provide a huge growth potential for confectionery products.

This region is also witnessing an inflow of foreign investment in manufacturing of confectionery products. South Africa is expected to exhibit progress in terms of income levels, further supporting the strong economic prospects of the African region.

Multinational as well as domestic players are anticipated to enter the markets through various entry strategies that include exports, sales agents and manufacturing. Multinational players as well as domestic players are setting up manufacturing operations in emerging markets and are characterized by shifting away from 'premiumisation' of confectionery products. Domestic manufacturers and multinational players of APEJ and MEA regions are on the other hand targeting cash strapped consumers in such regions as a part of their strategy who seek value added products. This is due to the fact that untapped market segments in the emerging economies represent a huge target market opportunity for chocolate, sugar and gum confectionery products.

Further, the APEJ and MEA regions have a huge young population with the average age below 20 years. Young median age and a growing middle class in such regions are expected to fuel the demand for end use products that are packed in stickpacks and boxes.
