In the era of sugar discoloration, the development of the candy market is not as bad as we imagine.
Once upon a time, under the trend of big health, the candy industry, which was relatively traditional, was not favored by the outside world. However, in recent years, based on consumers' dual needs for health and nutrition, a group of candy manufacturers have also regarded the research and development of new products that meet consumer needs as their top priority. A continuous stream of innovative products has injected new vitality into the candy market, and the dormant candy market is gradually showing signs of recovery. Riding on the 'health' train, the candy industry slowly moves forward.
