  • Introduction
    JAPAN TODAY Confectionery & Desserts July 14, 2011 Individually packaged products are catching attention. Although large sizes were the mainstream of the imported snacks, it is starting to shift to smaller individual packages and personal sizes. It fulfills the needs of consumers who want to try a certain flavor for a reasonable price, and many people purchase the smaller sizes before the larger ones as a trial. In 2010, many well known brands sold individually packaged products that could be purchased with a little over 100 yen. Many agencies are more likely to sell individually packaged products, and these products are estimated to become even more popular amongst mass retailers. Individually packaged products are being sold at stores that sell imported foods, high quality super markets, department stores, as well as convenience stores, and variety shops, expanding different types of customers. These products are placed near the cashier so that it would be easier to take. Large bags with small individual packages are also on the increase, and more people want personal sized products. According to the customs clearance record of imported snacks in 2010, the quantity rose 10% from the previous year, and there was a 3% increase on value base. Although there are effects of weather, chocolate and biscuit (sweetened) are making a great advance on both quantity and value from 2009. Due to the price increase of ingredients, there are worries that the prices of cacao and wheat would soar. 1 FOODEX JAPAN Secretariat COPYRIGHT (C) 2016 JAPAN MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
