Global Chocolate Market to be Worth a Staggering USD 192 Billion by 2028
The global chocolate market is growing due to the increasing disposable income of the consumers, rising working population, coupled with changing consumer preferences boosting sales of seasonal and premium chocolates during festive seasons…
A recent study conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm, BlueWeave Consulting, revealed that the global chocolate market was worth USD 140.4 billion in the year 2021. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.70%, earning revenues of around USD 192.6 billion by the end of 2028. The global chocolate market is growing at a high rate owing to the increasing disposable income of the consumers, rising working population, and changing consumer preferences. Changing consumer preferences are augmenting sales of seasonal and premium chocolates during festive seasons instead of traditional sweets, which is emerging as another factor for the growth of the global chocolate market. However, fluctuations in the supply chain for raw materials act as a huge restraining factor for market growth.
Launch of New Products by Chocolate Brands is Creating Lucrative Growth Opportunities
The chocolate brands constantly launch new products to meet the changing consumption pattern and target consumers of different age groups. They also launch products during festivities and regional holidays as a marketing strategy to boost their sales. For instance, Nestle has recently announced the launch of new chocolate products including KitKat Bites, KitKat Chunky Lotus Biscoff, Aero Melts, etc., in the UK market that will be made available through convenience stores. Such launches act as a major driver for the global chocolate market.
Increasing Cocoa Production Worldwide is Driving Growth
With the expanding production of chocolate worldwide, the need for boosting cocoa production to meet the surging global demand is also increasing. Therefore, the leading cocoa-producing regions such as Africa, Europe, Asia, etc., are significantly investing in expanding their cocoa yield. According to the International Cocoa Organization, global cocoa production is estimated to increase by 10% in the next decade, with around 4,700,000 tonnes in 2022-2023.

Based on the distribution channel, the global chocolate market is categorized into retail stores and specialty retailers, and online distributors. Convenience stores represent the largest segment followed by supermarkets and hypermarkets owing to the rising number of health-conscious consumers along with the availability of different types of chocolates and brands under one roof. However, the retail store segment is projected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period owing to the number of retail stores under single-person ownership in different types of economies.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Chocolate Market
