The supplier told RN that premiumisation is still a growing trend, with premium chocolate bought as an “affordable luxury” by 56% of those who buy into the category.
It also expects boxed chocolates to outperform this year, similar to last, where in the final four weeks to Christmas, sales rose by 43%.
Jo Sinisgalli, gifting senior brand manager at Mars Wrigley UK, said: “The launch of Galaxy Truffles last year was a great success and became the number one confectionery launch for Christmas 2019.
“Alongside this, the chocolate treat helped introduce new customers to boxed chocolates, adding over 60% incremental sales to the category at the time of launch.”
