The Belgium chewing gum market faces challenges related to changing consumer preferences and health concerns. Increasing awareness of the negative health impacts of sugar has led to a decline in the consumption of traditional chewing gum, pushing manufacturers to develop sugar-free alternatives. However, these alternatives must still meet taste and texture expectations, which can be difficult and costly to achieve. The market also contends with competition from other confectionery products and snacks, which can affect market share.

Environmental concerns about gum disposal and littering also necessitate sustainable packaging solutions, further driving up costs.
