There are various types of "coconut candies" on the market, which can be roughly divided into the following two categories:

1) Candies made from coconut juice, white granulated sugar, starch syrup, gel agent, etc. according to a certain process

2) Sugar made from the juice of coconut palm flower buds and stems is widely used as a sweetener in Southeast Asia.

Against the backdrop of slowing growth in the traditional candy market, coconut candy, which has natural health properties, has shown strong market resilience.

The global coconut sugar market reached 2.483 billion yuan in 2024, and it is expected to reach 3.35 billion yuan by 2030. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period is 5.12%.
