Following a £35 million investment into its Yorkshire operations, UK sweets manufacturer Haribo has reported a “strong” financial year.

Haribo said it had achieved a record market share of 22.6%, while reporting a 7.7% increase in turnover for the full year ended 31st December 2024. Export and domestic sales increased by 9.7% and 7.6% respectively.

Turnover for the manufacturer reached £291.5 million for the full year, up from the 2023 total of £270.7 million. Its operating profit in 2024 reached £40.5 million, an increase on the year from £32.8 million.

The announcement comes as the business continues to invest in West Yorkshire, unveiling recent investments totalling over £35 million. Haribo has invested in its site in Castleford in a new purpose-built warehouse opening early in 2026, which has used a local supply chain, and an additional production and packaging line was installed to “help Haribo meet growing demand” for its products.

Jon Hughes, managing director, Haribo UK & Ireland said: “We’re proud of Haribo UK’s performance in 2024, and to once again be the most popular choice for consumers within our category.

“Through ongoing investment in our production sites and continued innovation across our treats, stores, people, and community initiatives, we continue to bring more moments of childlike happiness and to be part of Yorkshire’s proud next chapter of food manufacturing excellence.”
