About This Dataset
Best-Selling Chocolate Brands in the WorldM&M's leads the world's chocolate brands with an estimated 5.2 billion dollars in annual sales, ahead of Snickers at 4.8 billion and Reese's at 3.9 billion. All three of these top sellers are owned by American confectionery giants, Mars owning both M&M's and Snickers and Hershey owning Reese's, underlining how a small number of companies dominate global chocolate sales. M&M's leads by revenue and is also frequently cited as the best-selling candy by units sold, while Snickers has been the top-selling chocolate bar globally since overtaking Milky Way in the 1980s. The relatively narrow gap between the three, from 3.9 to 5.2 billion, shows how closely these iconic brands compete at the very top of a confectionery market worth well over 100 billion dollars a year.
