Mondelez International is among the top three leading confectionery companies worldwide. The company offers products in various market segments. Biscuits, baked snacks, and chocolate products generate the lion’s share of Mondelez’s net revenue by sector, making up a total of almost 80 percent of the company’s revenue. The remaining 20 percent of the company’s revenue is generated from product sales of gum, candy, cheese, other grocery products, and beverages. Mondelez’s market share in the U.S. confectionery market is just over four and a half percent. Hershey, Mars, and Ferrero & related parties are among the leading competitors in that market.

The market leader Mars, Inc. holds a market share of more than half of the entire market.
