Market Data

Bigger Bags Win With Consumers

Circana POS data (Total US, CY 2024) shows that the >19 oz club and family size format captures the largest innovation dollar share in both chocolate and non-chocolate candy — outperforming every smaller size segment. Consumers choose bigger bags because they deliver better value per ounce and more flexibility based on their budget.

Size Strategy

Every Size Has a Channel — Bigger Sizes Drive More Value

The data is clear: consumers actively seek out larger formats because they get more candy for their money. Club and family size pouches (>19 oz) consistently lead innovation dollar share — meaning shoppers are choosing new products in bigger bags first.

Why Club & Family Size Pouches Win

Better Value Per Oz
Consumers recognize the math. A 32 oz pouch at $8.99 beats a 7 oz bag at $3.49 — and they know it.
Bigger Shelf Presence
A large stand-up pouch commands attention on shelf. More billboard space means more brand visibility.
Higher Basket Size
Club and family buyers are planned purchasers. They spend more per trip and return more frequently.
Club Channel Access
Costco, BJ's, and Sam's Club require specific size formats. We pack to club store specs.
