American Confectionery Market Grows

The findings show that all of the top ten favourite confectionery products in the UK are produced by American Manufacturers, including Nestlé, Mars Confectionery and Mondelēz International. Dairy Milk, owned by Mondelēz International, was listed as the top-selling product.
