Reduced-fat & lower-calorie chocolate confectionery

Article Abstract:

The UK market for reduced-fat and lower-calorie chocolate confectionery amounted to 40 million pounds sterling in 1997, up 344% from 1993. They account for 1.1% of total confectionery sales, against 0.3% in 1993. Sales growth is driven by greater consumer awareness, improved product quality and a shift in advertising emphasis. Much of the market's growth is the result of Mars Confectionery's entrance to the market in 1997 with its Flyte brand which has become market leader. Sales of lower-calorie and reduced-fat chocolate confectionery are expected to rise by 288% between 1997 and 2001, reaching 155 million pounds sterling.
