    Report Coverage

    The report on the Confectionery Industry describes the state of the industry, major players and factors influencing the sector’s success in South Africa, on the continent and internationally. There are comprehensive profiles of 23 companies including the major industry players Mondel?z South Africa (Cadbury), Tiger Brands (Beacon), Nestlé and Premier Foods (Manhattan). The report includes profiles of Lodestone Brands, which is being sold by former Steinhoff International CEO Markus Jooste’s Mayfair Holdings, independent companies such as Beyers Chocolate and artisanal chocolatiers such as DV Artisan Chocolate, which attracted investment by Remgro subsidiary Invenfin.

    Confectionery Industry

    South Africa’s confectionery industry comprises the chocolate market, valued at approximately R6.4bn and sugar confectionery, which is valued between R12.5bn and R13.5bn. The industry was under pressure during 2018, mainly due to a challenging economic climate, low consumer confidence and increasing imports. Demand for sugar-free products, premium and artisan chocolates is driving the growth of niche manufacturers.

    Challenges Ahead

    Cash-strapped shoppers, especially lower-middle income groups, cut down on non-essential goods, especially as increasing commodity costs forced manufacturers to pass rising costs on to consumers. Sales are being affected by the economic climate and by consumers buying healthier snack products. The market share of the largest companies is being challenged by brands which are imported duty-free and from the growing number of niche chocolatiers. The chocolate industry faces the threat of declining cocoa supply due to changing climate conditions.

    Report Coverage

    The Confectionery report describes the sector in South Africa, discusses current conditions and factors influencing the success of the industry. Twenty-one companies are profiled, including the multinational confectionery manufacturers and importers, as well as Kees Beyers Chocolate, the largest local manufacturer of chocolate products which acquired the Sweetie Pie brand in 2013. Also profiled are small artisanal confectioner, DV Chocolate which manufactures branded chocolate for Woolworths, and micro-enterprise Shooga Shooga, which manufactures and wholesales sugar confectionery.

    The Confectionery Sector

    This report focuses on the South African confectionery sector which analysts estimate is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%, giving an industry value of between R12.4bn and R13.5bn. Chocolate confectionery, valued at R6bn, is dominated by three multinational companies, Mondelez South Africa, Tiger Brands and Nestlé, while sugar confectionery manufacturers include Lodestone Brands which manufactures Candy Tops sweets, Trade Kings, a Zambian company which expanded into South Africa in 2005, and Manhattan, which has been owned by Premier Foods since May 2013. Although there are no confirmed figures, the sale of sweets by spaza shops and informal traders is considered to be substantial.

    Opportunities and Challenges

    The market share of the largest three chocolate companies is being eroded by imported brands and from the growing number of niche, artisanal chocolatiers who have entered the industry. Market share for the big three dropped from approximately 73% in 2013 to 68% at the end of 2015. However, despite tough economic conditions, growth of up to 15% has been forecast for the premium confectionery segment which is currently dominated by imported brands Lindt and Ferrero Rocher. Stakeholders believe there are also opportunities in the lower end of the market where smaller more affordable package sizes are being sold, often by hawkers and other informal traders.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the local confectionery market and specifically on the chocolate confectionery market which despite tough economic times and growing concerns over health aspects and sustainability issues, continues to grow at 10% per annum. The report also profiles 21 industry players, ranging from Mondelez South Africa which employs 2,200 people to recently established small enterprise Inkanyezi Chocs (Pty) Ltd t/a Arriba Chocolates, which has 18 employees at its Randburg factory.

    Value of the South African Confectionery Market

    The value of the South African confectionery market is between R11bn and R12bn with chocolate confectionery accounting for approximately half of this total. Locally the market share of the three main chocolate manufacturers, multinationals Mondelez South Africa, Tiger Brands and Nestlé has contracted as a result of the increasing popularity of premium and handmade chocolates. Meanwhile the sugar confectionery sub-sector is dominated by two regional companies, Candy Tops and Trade Kings

    Global strategies

    Multinationals in South Africa are following global strategies of improving efficiencies in their supply chains. This includes improving economies of scale, which often entails selling off non-core brands to small independent companies. The global trend of centralising production is also having an effect on the local manufacturing industry.
