Confectionery: Thai teeth take to chewing gum

The Thai gum market is expected to see impressive growth over the next five years. The value of this market stood at an estimated $48.6 million in 2004 and is expected to reach $69.7 million by 2009, representing compound annual growth rate of 7.5%. Importantly, however, this growth will be driven by chewing gum only: the value of the bubble gum market is expected to see an average annual decline of 0.2% over the period.
