India has recorded a sharp rise in toffee exports over the past 12 years, with outbound shipments increasing 166% to reach Rs 132 crore in FY2025-26. The growth reflects rising global demand for Indian confectionery products and expanding market access across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
Industry data shows that Indian confectionery manufacturers have steadily increased production capacity and diversified export destinations, helping boost overseas sales of toffees and sugar-based candies. Exporters have also benefited from improved packaging standards, competitive pricing and stronger distribution networks in international markets.
Trade analysts expect India’s confectionery exports to maintain positive momentum as manufacturers continue to target new overseas buyers and capitalize on growing demand for affordable packaged sweets in emerging markets.
