Chocolate Confectionery in Hong Kong, China - New Report Available

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Mon Apr 13 2015


With stable income, better knowledge of chocolate and extensive international travel, Hong Kong consumers began to develop a more sophisticated taste for chocolate. For sophisticated consumers chocolate is no longer a confectionery of mass consumption. Instead, it is seen as a symbol of status. This is vindicated by the rapid expansion of Godiva Chocolatier and the strong growth in performance registered by Ferrero Rocher and Lindt & Sprüngli in Hong Kong.

Competitive Landscape

Ferrero Asia Ltd led value sales with a share of 31% at the end of the review period thanks to strong brands such as Ferrero Rocher, Kinda Bueno and Kinda Chocolate. They have been present in Hong Kong for years and enjoy strong brand recognition across the city. While Ferrero Rocher is premium chocolate with elegant packaging that is perfect for gifting, Kinda is a mass chocolate brand riding a fine balance between quality and price. The former is one of the gift favourites for special occasions such as Chinese New Year while the latter is a popular snack option. Besides, while being the market leader in 2014, Ferrero Asia Ltd also witnessed the largest increase in value sales that year, jumping from HKD514 million in 2013 to HKD571 million in 2014. This strong performance is helped by Ferrero’s extensive sales network and constant marketing campaigns.

Industry Prospects

Confectionery chocolate is expected to register a CAGR of 5% over the forecast period with bagged selflines/softlines and boxed assortments leading the charge. The influx of mainland tourists is likely to provide the growth of momentum as boxed chocolate is one of the favourites for gifting. Bagged selflines/softlines is also likely to register a strong performance because it contains independent packs that enable consumers to share. Bagged selflines/softlines allows later consumption if consumers are unable to finish the product in one go.
