Japan Confectionery Market Trends & Drivers

The confectionery market in Japan is experiencing robust growth driven by multiple interconnected factors. Rising disposable incomes among consumers have significantly boosted demand for premium confectionery products, as people are increasingly willing to indulge in high-quality sweets and treats.
