Children with an inclination towards a sweet tooth is a major factor driving the demand of the products. Hence, this group of population is a huge contributor towards revenue generation of the market. Moreover, key players are creating appealing advertisements targeting the children and young population, thus, attracting them towards impulse purchase. Teenagers are also a significant target population for candies, especially chocolate candies due to the high preference for the chocolate flavor.
