The report begins with an overview of the chocolate confectionary industry around the world, identifying current trends. Porter’s Five Forces and the PEST models are then applied in order to provide a framework to analyse the macro-environmental factors impacting on the industry. One of the key drivers of change within the industry was the acquisition of the second largest confectionary company, Cadbury by the US-based Kraft foods that was announced in January 2010. This merger has created the largest global confectioner and is likely to have significant repercussions on the industry dynamics, fuelling further consolidation within the industry.
