This Halloween, trick-or-treaters are likely to see a greater variety of gummy and non-chocolate candies, as data shows a decrease in chocolate's market share due to rising cocoa prices and changing consumer preferences. Last year's chocolate candies made up 52% of Halloween sales, but this year, they've dropped to 44%. Non-chocolate candies are becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger consumers, which is reflected in their lower average prices compared to chocolate.
