Dark chocolate, also known as bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, is made from the seed of the cocoa tree. It comprises sugar, emulsifier, soy lecithin, vanilla, and cocoa butter, beans, and solids without added milk. It is rich in fiber, iron, zinc, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, selenium, manganese, flavonoids and antioxidants. As it improves the blood flow in arteries and significantly decreases blood pressure, dark chocolate finds extensive applications in the food and beverage (F&B), personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries across the globe.

Dark Chocolate Market Trends:
At present, there is a rise in the gifting of dark chocolates for birthdays, anniversaries, festivals and other special occasions. This, along with several medical advantages offered by dark chocolates, such as improving memory and the ability to focus and controlling anxiety levels, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, the wide availability of dark chocolates through online and offline stores around the world is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, key market players are considerably focusing on promotional campaigns through social media platforms.

Apart from this, they are incorporating natural sugars, such as stevia and coconut sugars, to meet the requirements of health-conscious consumers. This, coupled with inflating disposable incomes and changing dietary patterns of individuals, is strengthening the growth of the market. Additionally, dark chocolates are used in personal care products to reduce dark spots and pigmentation and keep skin glowing and healthy.
