Overview of Report Findings
- Market Growth: Ingredients commonly found in American and European treats, such as s'mores, hot chocolate toppings, and bakery items, are experiencing heightened demand as consumers increasingly embrace Western-style eating habits. Marshmallows stand out for their soft texture and versatility, making them a favored addition to sweet and savory offerings.
- Seasonal Demand Boosting Consumption Patterns: The seasonal demand is also quite influential in enhancing the overall consumption pattern of marshmallows globally. It is strongly related to eating habits, cultural traditions, and holidays based on the weather patterns in the various regions.
In addition to many snacks that keep relatively constant sales throughout the year, marshmallows have distinctly seasonal sales volumes, affecting power consumption and influencing brands' marketing and innovation approach. Global holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day are gaining momentum in the Eastern and emerging markets under the Western influence, and with it, marshmallow consumption is increasing too. The culture of giving gifts during festivals, exchanging gifts in the classrooms, and themed desserts also leads to increased festive sales. - Rising Demand for Vegan and Allergen-Free Marshmallow Alternatives: Plant-based and allergen-free diets are becoming more popular globally, substantially impacting the confectionery industry. Conventional marshmallows are made of gelatin, an animal product, and can include dairy products or egg whites in the recipe. This renders them unsuitable for vegans, vegetarians, consumers with food allergies, or those following special religious food regulations. With an increasing number of consumers becoming either vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian, and the growing awareness of food allergies and food intolerances, the need to provide inclusive, clean-label alternatives to food has skyrocketed.
- Geographical Insights: In 2024, Asia Pacific led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and North America. Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
