As urbanization continues to rise, the accessibility of candy products has improved significantly with the increase in modern retail formats such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores. These outlets provide consumers with a wide range of candy options, making it easier to discover new products and make spontaneous purchases. Also, the rise of e-commerce platforms has further contributed to the market's growth, offering convenience, competitive pricing, and the ability to explore a broader variety of candy from both national and international brands. Online shopping has also made it possible for consumers in smaller towns and rural areas to access diverse candy products.
