According to the industry magazine Candy Industry, in 2019, Haribao ranked ninth in the list of the world's top 100 confectionery companies, with annual sales of 3.3 billion US dollars.

Haribo's commercial focus has always been on gummies, from Golden Bear gummies to Happy Cola gummies to peach gummies, and many of its products rely on the wonderful work of gelatin, which turns the viscous syrup into soft and elastic gelatin. Haribao's unique ratio of gummies is more elastic and chewy, and the sweetness is lower than that of ordinary hard candies, giving people a sticky and refreshing taste experience.
