(MoneyNewsWire.Net, February 02, 2018 ) Global Cocoa and Chocolate Market was worth $123.32 billion in 2017 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 2.28%, to reach $138.03 billion by 2022. The market is showcasing huge potential in the mentioned forecasting period. Chocolate is mainly classified by the amount of cocoa it contains. Chocolate is considered as “dark chocolate” if it contains more than 60% cocoa. Milk chocolates account for about 50% of all chocolate consumption but they, in general, contain as little as 10% cocoa.
The cocoa and chocolate market has been growing at a steady pace. The constant strong demand from North America is propelling the cocoa and chocolate market in the region. Cocoa provides texture, flavour, and colour to products. Furthermore, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-depressant properties. The market for these ingredients is observing growth in developing economies such as India and China. Dark chocolate contains high amounts of antioxidants, which are believed to delay or prevent certain types of diseases like cardiac arrest. These health benefits, perceived by people and doctors, is one of the main reason behind strong growth for products with high quantities of cocoa.
Powerful local and global growth in demand is unevenly matched against an unpredictable and unstable supply. But chocolate consumers happen to be quite price insensitive. Except in very rare circumstances consumers are willing to purchase cocoa product at any given prices. The huge demand for chocolate and cocoa in confectionery and food and beverage industries majorly drives the market. The health benefits of cocoa and chocolate in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics has enough evidence to back manufacturers to consider using such ingredients.
