Halloween has been an especially sweet holiday for American candy companies. In Chocolate Candy Market in the U.S., 11th Edition, Packaged Facts identifies the Halloween chocolate segment as a pocket of growth.
In the last year, the confectionery industry grew just under 2% at food, drug, mass, select club and dollar stores, and military commissaries, reaching nearly $19 billion in dollar sales. The biggest percentage gainer was the Seasonal Halloween chocolate segment, which was up 61%. Growth has been attributed to both a shift from snack size to seasonal packages, as well as an influx of unique, large-size items. In trade literature, Mars points out that more than 50% of Halloween shoppers purchase variety bags.
