Industry Insight Day | Global Trends in the Gummy Candy Market
As health awareness continues to rise and functional foods become a mainstream trend, gummy candies are emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments in the global confectionery industry.
Recent market studies show that the global gummy market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 10% in the next five years — driven by functional ingredients, innovation, and advanced production technologies.
Trend 1: Functional and Healthy Gummies
Traditional fruit gummies are rapidly evolving into functional gummies enriched with vitamins, collagen, probiotics, CBD, and natural plant extracts. From Europe to Southeast Asia, consumers are looking for convenient and enjoyable ways to stay healthy.
TG Machine Insight:
The rise of functional gummies requires more precise process control — including temperature, flow rate, and depositing accuracy — to preserve the stability of active ingredients.
TG Machine has developed customized low-temperature depositing and inline mixing systems to meet these growing production demands.
Trend 2: Creativity and Product Diversity
The market is seeing a wave of creative gummy designs — transparent, dual-color, layered, or liquid-filled gummies. Younger consumers seek both visual appeal and texture innovation, making custom mold design a key investment area for gummy producers.
