Global Chocolate Market Size, Share, Growth, Trend & Forecast 2026

Report Description

The global chocolate market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 4% during 2021-2026F to reach around USD172 billion by 2026, on account of the increasing availability of premium chocolates, spurred by consumers’ desire to consume delicious chocolates and rising food culture. Other factors driving the market include growing online sales of chocolates, rising personal disposable income, and gaining popularity of organic and sugar-free chocolates, etc.

The global chocolate market was severely affected by the low sales volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including supply-side issues linked to quality and certification. Also, government support in strengthening the partnership between fine cocoa producers and chocolate companies to smoothen the supply of cocoa has helped in developing the global chocolate market.

Regionally, the chocolate market has been segmented into regions including Asia Pacific, North America, South America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Among these regions, Europe accounted for around 35% market share in value, owing to increasing health concerns and the surge in the demand for fine cocoa flavored chocolates. European consumers are willing to pay extra prices for chocolates made from fine cocoa. Also, the European consumers’ paradigm shift towards the consumption of high-quality chocolate products such as single-origin chocolates, organic chocolates, handmade chocolates, artisan chocolates, and other chocolate products, is a major factor driving the chocolate market in the region. There is a tremendous demand for dark chocolates as they have less sugar and more cocoa taste.

Mars Incorporated, Ferrero Group, The Hershey Company, Modelez International, Nestle SA, are few of the prominent players operating in the global chocolate market. Nestle and Mars are also the most active companies in terms of product launches and marketing their products. The development of chocolate products to enhance the product portfolio and to capture untapped markets has driven the growth in the global chocolate market. Owing to the changing tastes and preferences of consumers, there has been rapid development in chocolate products by various market players.
