Top Confectionery Brands in Jordan

27.03.2024

The Expansion of Western Confectionery in the Middle Eastern Market

Food is an essential part of Jordanian culture. Sharing a meal is a cornerstone of hospitality, and desserts are a vital part of this tradition. While Jordan remains known for its rich heritage of sweets, from kanafeh and luqaimat to baklava and basbousa, international confectionery brands have found a firm place on Jordanian tables in recent years.

FMCG-Excellence B.V. is here to give you a closer look at how Western confectionery is winning hearts (and taste buds) across Jordan.

A Quick Outlook on the Development of Jordan’s Confectionery Industry

Jordan, with its exotic culinary legacy, has become increasingly receptive to imported packaged goods, especially premium chocolate brands like Ferrero, Lindt, Mars, Storck, and Mondelez.

While local desserts still dominate festive and family gatherings, more and more Jordanians are incorporating European and American sweets into their daily lives. Industry insights confirm this transformation. In fact, data from Jordanian confectionery importers and distributors shows a steady growth in demand for international chocolate brands.

In 2021 alone, Jordan imported $102 million worth of chocolate, ranking 59th globally. By 2027, analysts predict this figure will double, not just for chocolate but also for imported sugar confectionery, chewing gum, beverages, personal care products, and detergents.

The Current Confectionery Trade in Jordan

Confectionery industry reports indicate a clear surge in imported chocolate and sugar treats becoming part of everyday life. Products like:

Lindt wholesale chocolate
M&Ms, Twix, Mars, Snickers
Ferrero Rocher
Wrigley’s Orbit gum

…have now become standard shopping list items for both homeowners and business operators across Jordan.
