One of Our Boldest Dreams Finally Came True: Yes, Contest Distribution Exports to China
After COVID - 19 restrictions as well as revolutionary import and export changes in the global confectionery trade, at last China has opened its borders and heart for imported candy of European origin. More than 42% of the locals are willing to taste both classic sweets and bold new tastes. It is hard to believe that such a tremendous authority in the global sweets distribution industry as China also imports confectionery of European origin but they do. In fact, not all bulk candy manufacturers and suppliers, distributing premium quality packaged goods, are local businesses. European colossal brands like Lindt, Mars, Wrigley’s, Nestle, etc. are also producing sweets that enjoy their popularity in one of Asia’s most economically stable countries - the People’s Republic of China.5 Benefits of Being a Business Partner of Contest Distribution on the Asian Market

Influenced by the Western culture spreading globally, China is also slowly becoming a consumer society, which is subsequently leading to the rise in demand of FMCGs. Here’s our top selection of sweets and individually wrapped candies which we consider suitable for this part of the Asian confectionery market:- Mars, Bounty, Twix, and Snickers ice bars; Familia and Aloma ice boxes (family packs). These are just a few of your best “summer friends”.
