HOW MUCH IS THE UK’S EASTER SWEET TOOTH WORTH? Brits splash out millions Easter is a huge time of the year for confectionery annually on Easter and food producers as sales for both run into the hundreds of millions. In 2016, Easter chocolate, themed confectionery sweets and baked goods accounted for over and food. £374 million in sales across the UK according to consumer research group, Mintel, with that number rising through 2017 and expected to do so again this year. Of course, Easter eggs account for the lion’s share of this spend, but also other Easter foods, such as hot cross buns and Simnel cake. As food manufacturers seek to take advantage of the increased spending there are also many variations and developments in the market with new Easter themed treats joining the more traditional options. It’s well known that us Brits have a sweet tooth. In fact, the UK actually leads the rest of the world in terms of chocolate spend per head with the average Brit consuming 8.61kgs of chocolate per capita. However, it’s during Easter that we see the sharpest spending boost that retailers, manufacturers and suppliers should seek to capitalise with approximately 49% of Easter shoppers picking up something sweet as a gift! It’s little wonder that supermarkets are rolling out the Easter chocolate before most of us have even taken our Christmas trees down. Easter is big business and there are a number of opportunities to harness its power and capture a share of the increased spending that takes place as the holiday is perfectly placed for people to have recovered financially after the Christmas holidays. The combination of the long weekend and prominent advertising means it’s potentially one of the most important dates in the food industry diary! 12
