Increased disposable income allows consumers to indulge in confectionery products such as hard candies more frequently. Moreover, a growing global population, particularly among children and young adults, leads to a larger consumer base for such products. As purchasing power improves and more individuals have access to these treats, the demand for hard candies rises, fostering market growth and presenting opportunities for manufacturers to cater to diverse preferences.

Increased consumption of hard candies, known for their sugary content, can contribute to dental issues such as cavities and tooth decay. Concerns about oral health and awareness of the potential negative impact of excessive sugar intake have led to a shift in consumer preferences towards healthier alternatives. This trend poses a challenge to the market's growth, as health-conscious consumers may opt for options that are less detrimental to dental health.
