2026 Emerging Consumer Trends Shaping the Future of Confectionery

What's next for confectionery? Consumer expectations are evolving rapidly, and the brands that understand where demand is heading will be positioned to win.

Join us for an exclusive look at The New Sweet Spot, a new trend analysis based on innovation trends at the 2026 Sweets & Snacks Expo. This webinar explores the emerging consumer behaviors and marketplace shifts expected to influence confectionery innovation over the next 12–24 months.

We'll examine:
  • Why smaller, premium portions are redefining indulgence.
  • How clean ingredients and transparency are becoming competitive necessities.
  • Why bold flavor experiences, including sour, spicy, and "swicy", continue to resonate with younger consumers.
  • Adjacent trends that could shape future product development and merchandising opportunities.
