United Kingdom Cocoa Market Growth
Cocoa butter is a vital ingredient in the creation of chocolate confections. They are extracted from cocoa seeds, impart good colour and texture to the food products, and enhance their taste. Due to their versatile properties, they are not limited to the food industry, they are also used as moisturising agents in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Also, the demand for premium chocolates is rising, and there is a huge demand for cocoa butters on the market.
In March 2024, Mondelez International Cadbury released two new dairy milkchocolatebars in United Kingdom supermarkets, named Nutty Praline Crisp and Caramel Nut Crunch. These additions featured larger chunks with varied textures and layers. Maria Jackson from Mondelez International highlighted their innovative nature, promising indulgence with every bite. The bars come in 180- and 200-gramme packings, respectively, and are retailed for £2.75.
Cocoa powder is a side product of cocoa butter and provides dry and powdery forms of cocoa extracts. Used as a chocolaty taste enhancer for industries like baking and beverage industries and gives deep colouration to food products. Due to increasing demand for chocolate-flavoured food products, there has been a sharp rise in the market share of cocoa powder.
