Market Growth Rate 2025-2033: 3.94%

The Russia confectionery market reached 4.3 Million Tons in 2024 and is projected to expand to 6.3 Million Tons by 2033.

Growth Drivers of the Russian Confectionery Market

Growing Domestic Consumption

The per capita consumption of confectionery in Russia is one of the highest in the world at 26.3 kg (58 lb) per year. More than half of this consists in bakery products in the form of biscuits and wafers. Chocolate and sugar like marshmallows, sweets, and caramel are the other main products. Seasonal events such as festivals and holidays where consumers usually purchase and consume confectionery products, and rising disposable income, help toward supporting this growth. This powerful domestic appetite remains a major driver of market growth.

Expanding Export Markets

Exports of Russian confectionery products are growing. In 2023, confectionery is exported to 93 countries, compared to 90 in 2022, and in January-September 2023, 452 thousand tonnes were exported for more than USD 1.2 billion. At present China, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and other nearby countries are the main trade markets in the region, but others are being developed, such as Southeast Asia with the assistance of government trade arrangements and export grants. For example, the Volshebnitsa confectionery factory in the Moscow region already exports toward 17 countries and plans entry into more new markets in 2024, strengthening Russia's positioning in the international confectionery market.

Innovation and Product Diversification

Also, companies innovate to reshape the Russian chocolate confectionery market. They introduce premium and boutique ranges for healthier ingredients as health-conscious and affluent consumers increasingly demand sugar-free, organic, and limited-edition products. In November of 2023, SELL-Service launched grated cocoa onto the Russian market, selling more than 160 tons with earnings of RUB 66 million. Seasonal product launches improve sales and festive promotions improve sales. Candy companies change the items they sell to suit consumer needs. This helps these companies grow in many countries.
