Chocolate Confectionery in the Netherlands

Following the extreme retail price increases in chocolate confectionery in 2024, average unit prices in the Netherlands continued to climb in 2025. The rising wholesale price of cocoa on a global level pushed up raw material costs, which manufacturers passed on to consumers. Whilst these price hikes translated into robust value growth, consumers were turned off by higher prices resulting in lower consumption of chocolate confectionery. As a result, retail volume sales declined in 2025.
