Vegan Chocolate Market is Driven by Dark Vegan Chocolate During the Forecast Period

Growing number of animal welfare organizations, rising awareness of benefits of plant-based products, and increase in vegan population is driving the global vegan chocolate market.


According to TechSci Research report, “
Vegan Chocolate Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028F” The global vegan chocolate market size is expected to grow at an exponential annual growth rate. Demand for vegan chocolates has been fueled by consumers' growing acceptance of veganism, particularly among millennials and the Gen Z population. Additionally, the rise in environmental protection campaigns and public awareness regarding animal cruelty are helping the market expand. Consumer food preferences have changed recently as a result of the increase in cases of lactose intolerance and other food-related allergies among both children and adults.

The consumption of plant-based products is known as veganism. Vegan chocolate is therefore regarded as being dairy-free. The vegan lifestyle is opposed to the consumption of all animal products and byproducts, especially dairy items such as cow milk. Dark chocolate is the finest chocolate for vegans because it does not contain milk or other additives in its production. Despite not containing any dairy products and going by the name "cocoa butter," it is categorized as ’butter’ because of the smooth texture the vegetable fat extract gives it. The growing number of vegans and flexitarians is a major factor driving the global vegan chocolate market.
