Sugar raw materials in the world mainly come from sugar beet and sugarcane, of which sucrose accounts for 80% of the current sugar output. Sugarcane cultivation areas are relatively concentrated, mainly in Brazil in central and South America, China, India and Thailand in Asia. Sugar beet planting areas are mainly concentrated in high latitudes such as Europe and Russia in the northern hemisphere, and there are also some areas in northern China. In 2017, the impact of El Ni ñ o gradually subsided, and the sugar production of the world's major sugar producing countries gradually rebounded.

As one of the two traditional pillar snack industries in China, the candy industry has maintained rapid growth and its potential market share has been expanding.

Candy is a kind of candy cake, which refers to a snack with sugar as the main component. If fruits or nuts are coated with sugar, they are called sweets (such as sugar gourd). As one of the two traditional pillar snack industries in China, the candy industry has maintained rapid growth and its potential market share has been expanding. Data show that in 2019, China's candy output was about 3.11 million tons.

In terms of the output of provinces and cities in China, the top ten regions in candy output are Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Shanghai, Henan, Hebei, Sichuan and Shandong.

At present, the research and development capacity of new products in China's candy industry is insufficient, the industrial structure is relatively backward, the core competitiveness is weak, and the overall profit of the industry is far lower than that of foreign brands. Transformation and upgrading is the inevitable trend of the development of the industry. Compared with developed countries, China's candy industry has a single product type, serious homogenization, fuzzy labels and lagging marketing model. These factors are also one of the important reasons for the shrinkage of the market scale of China's candy industry.

However, in the developing market, the sales volume will continue to grow. The steady improvement of consumers' purchasing power, the growth of population and manufacturers' advertising will promote the growth of the market; In mature markets, the application of new ingredients and new concepts in technology and packaging will increase the added value of products and increase sales. With the shrinking market demand in China, the living space of the candy industry is reduced, and the internal competition in the industry is becoming increasingly fierce. It is expected that in the future, small and medium-sized enterprises with low brand awareness and weak strength will gradually withdraw from the market, and the market concentration will gradually increase; The competition among big brands will depend on their R & D and innovation ability and the speed of new product launch. However, in terms of China's per capita candy consumption at this stage, China's candy industry still has great development potential in the future.
