About Gum
Gum is a confectionery product designed to freshen breath. This confectionery product contains a gum base, sweeteners, flavors, colors, and others. Gums are typically classified as chewing gums and bubble gums, and sugared gums and sugar-free gums. Gums are generally breath-freshening items available in varied sizes like pellets, lozenges, and strips in tasty flavors to attract all consumer groups: Children, teenagers, and adults. The sales for gums is largely dependent on consumer impulse. Thus, modern retailers place bubble gums; teeth whitening gums; and chewing gums at cash/billing counters in supermarkets/hypermarkets. Various studies validate that gums constitute one of the largest categories to be purchased at checkout zone, followed by cigarettes and tobacco products. In addition to this, the demand for sugar-free and teeth whitening gums and gums that prevent tooth decay are increasing globally.
