Latin America Gum Market Overview

Gum is a type of confectionery that is witnessing a rapid upsurge in modern consumer purchases. Chewing gum is a soft, cohesive food substance that is intended to be chewed without being swallowed and it is made of a gum base, sweeteners, softeners/plasticizers and a hard coating of powdered polyol. It is available in many flavours and colours. Sugar-free gum sweetened with xylitol has been shown to reduce cavities and plaque. Factors contributing to the growth of the market include increasing purchase of socially approved products regarding the dental benefits and increasing consumer inclination towards impulse purchases. However, factors like environmental concerns and disposable problems related to masticated gum are hindering the growth of the market. Also, innovative flavour offerings and the increasing popularity of natural gum products are expected to boost the market.
