Market Overview:

The global chocolate market size reached US$ 156.8 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 181.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4% during 2023-2028.

Chocolate is a sweet, edible product made from roasted and ground cocoa beans. It is rich in carbohydrates, essential minerals, and various alkaloids, such as phenethylamine, theobromine, flavonoids, and caffeine, which help lowers the risk of cardiovascular and Parkinson’s diseases. Its moderate consumption promotes serotonin that exhibits anti-depressant properties. Besides this, it improves blood flow, helps protect cells from inflammation, boosts energy levels, and improves the immune system. Presently, chocolate is available in various shapes and forms and used in preparing confectionaries, beverages, and bakery products.

At present, the rising popularity of chocolate-based food items and confectionaries is catalyzing the demand for chocolate across the globe. In addition, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases due to unhealthy dietary patterns, along with rising awareness among individuals about the health benefits of consuming chocolates in moderation, represents one of the key factors positively influencing the market. This, coupled with the expansion of hotels, restaurants, coffee centers, and bakeries and the emerging trend of food vlogging, is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the increasing consumer reliance on online shopping, coupled with the burgeoning e-commerce industry, is offering a favorable market outlook. Furthermore, shifting consumer preference towards molded chocolates that are infused with numerous additional flavors and nuts, raisins, almonds, and other dry fruits is offering lucrative growth opportunities to manufacturers. Moreover, key market players are focusing on introducing chocolate variants made without additives, preservatives, and refined sugar, which is expected to expand their consumer base and propel the market growth.
