Cameroon Sugar Confectionery Market 2025

The Cameroon sugar confectionery market is projected to increase by USD 35.8 million between 2025 and 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 7.42%. Both retail value and volume are expected to achieve healthy growth, underpinned by several key factors. Affordable pricing, driven by strong competition within the local confectionery sector, has maintained broad consumer access, while a youthful population provides a substantial and recurring consumer base, with candy products frequently promoted in schools. Regular introduction of new products continues to attract consumer attention and sustain engagement.

Distribution remains dominated by local small grocery stores, which leverage their advantage in offering affordable domestic brands. Emerging channels, including roadside vendors and kiosks, are experiencing rapid growth, particularly for impulse purchases.

Looking ahead, the market is expected to sustain healthy value growth, although illegal trade presents ongoing challenges for formal operators. Increasing consumer awareness of high sugar content is driving demand for healthier product variants, creating growth opportunities for companies that can adapt to this trend. In an increasingly saturated market, differentiation beyond low pricing—through innovation, premium offerings, or health-oriented positioning—is expected to be critical for capturing consumer interest and sustaining market momentum.
