Dear bolton1,
Since extensive research revealed that no cost-free comprehensive
statistics and data collections for the global confectionery markets
exist, I have performed further searches and done my best to collect
as many statistical facts as only possible for you. I tried to locate
the most up-to-date information available. Here are the results of my
work:

In 2001, a total of 14 million tons confectionery was industrially
produced worldwide, of which
- 40% were chocolate-based
- 52% were sugar-based

The total value of the worlwilde 2001 confectionery production was
88.7 bilion US-$. Of this value,
- 55% ($48.78 billion) were from chocolate-based products,
