"Gummy Innovation: Taste, texture and transparency"

Learn how to deliver low-sugar, clean label gummies with the ideal texture and indulgent flavor consumers love.

The gummy category is evolving — and fast. Once viewed purely as candy, gummies are now crossing into better-for-you snacking, offering moments of indulgence that fit within modern wellness lifestyles. Consumers are no longer satisfied with just sweetness; they’re looking for products that deliver balanced flavor, a satisfying chew and ingredients they can feel good about. As our proprietary research demonstrates, texture now defines enjoyment, nearly eight in ten consumers saying it determines overall satisfaction, while label transparency and sugar reduction are driving purchase decisions across both confectionery and fruit snack segments.
