Market Trends: U.S. Gourmet Chocolate Market

Special Offer. Now 25% off the original price of $1995.
The gourmet/premium market is evolving as mainstream American consumers—better-educated and more worldly because of exposure to fine foods and beverages in restaurants and cafés, through watching celebrity chefs on TV, and through travel abroad—are trading up to higher levels of quality and taste. As a result, gourmet chocolates are among the fastest growing segments of their respective markets. This new Market Trends report, U.S. Gourmet Chocolate Market, examines the growing market for “life’s little luxury,” the premium chocolate. The report concentrates on the premium market (including See’s, Godiva, Lindt/Ghiradelli, Perugina), but also addresses boutique marketers and mass-market manufacturers that offer upscale products (such as Dove).
