Liquorice is a plant with a sweet root that is commonly used to make candy and flavourings. It has a distinct flavor that is often described as sweet, slightly bitter, and reminiscent of anise or fennel. Liquorice is also used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits, such as soothing sore throats and aiding digestion. It is a popular ingredient in candies, teas, and herbal remedies. This report focuses on the licorice candy market.
Licorice candy is a type of confectionery that is flavoured with licorice extract. It can come in various forms, such as twists, ropes, bites, or even coated in chocolate. Licorice candy has a distinct sweet and slightly salty flavor that is loved by many people. It is often enjoyed as a treat or snack and can be found in many candy stores and supermarkets.
In 2025, global Liquorice production reached approximately 196,184 tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 8,176 per ton.
The Liquorice industry is seeing steady global growth, driven by core trends including a prominent shift toward health-oriented products such as sugar-free, low-sugar and organic variants, the rise of functional liquorice with throat-soothing, immune-boosting properties rooted in the food-medicine homology concept, flavor innovation featuring fruit and herbal blends as well as gourmet premium lines, the expansion of online sales channels like e-commerce and live streaming, the adoption of eco-friendly packaging, and accelerated market penetration in emerging regions such as the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa, alongside technological upgrades in intelligent production and green manufacturing processes; key opportunities lie in the surging consumer demand for natural, plant-based healthy snacks, policy dividends from regulations like the EU's plant-based food new rules and China's TCM development plans, huge growth potential in emerging markets fueled by consumption upgrading, technological innovations such as bio-extraction and 3D printing that reduce raw material costs and drive product upgrading, and the expansion of application scenarios through cross-border co-branding and the extension of functional attributes to oral care and sleep aid; meanwhile, the industry faces notable challenges including the raw material crunch with reduced output and declining quality of high-content liquorice leading to volatile and rising raw material costs, regional differences in taste preferences that hinder global market expansion, higher production costs and sensory balance difficulties in developing sugar-free formulations with natural sweeteners, stricter cross-regional food additive and labeling regulations increasing compliance costs, and intensified homogeneous competition as well as rising market concentration driven by head enterprise mergers and acquisitions pressuring small and medium-sized brands.
