Executive Summary

According to this report, titled, 'Chocolate Confectionery Market,' the chocolate confectionery market size was valued at $77.6 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $118.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4% from 2022 to 2031.

The market growth is propelled by several factors such as product innovations, a rise in the trend of gifting confectionery, economic growth, a rise in disposable income, and others. Consumer habits, tastes, and preferences are constantly evolving. This has led to innovation in the field of chocolate confectionery market trends that drive market growth.

Sugar is a major ingredient that is used to provide sweetness in chocolate confectioneries. The increase in the use of sugar is stifling the chocolate confectionery market growth of the chocolate confectionery business as it has been related to dental issues in consumers as a result of long-term consumption. According to the American Dental Association, the consumption of sugars has been associated with an increased risk of developing dental caries. Sugar is considered the main ingredient responsible for rising in the rate of obesity and diabetes. Obesity and diabetes in individuals are one of the major causes that contribute to increasing in the fatality rate. According to worldobesity.org, in the year 2020, 2000 million people were either overweight or obese, and 463 million individuals were suffering from diabetes. Consumers have, thereby, become more conscious about sugar intake and are shifting toward functional confectioneries that offer high nutritional value. Thus, the demand for sugar-free confections is on the rise around the globe. Overall, consumers are becoming more aware of the importance of maintaining good health, which is preventing them from consuming confectioneries containing sugar.

The megatrend of organic and premium chocolate confectionery has attracted a wider range of consumers. Most consumers are ready to pay a high price for organic chocolates, with a belief that they have additional benefits. However, organic chocolates have witnessed high acceptance by many customers as they are rich in antioxidants. The dark and organic sweets market is growing significantly, owing to the health-halo benefits of dark chocolate and its pure ingredients. For instance, the Lindt 99% Noir Dark Chocolate was one of the popular cocoa chocolates, owing to high demand from consumers. The market for organic chocolate confections is gaining popularity mostly among millennial customers, who are concerned not just with the impact of the confectioneries on their health and benefits. According to Hudson Institute, Inc., 82% of the sales growth among Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation member companies, such as Kraft Foods and Nestle U.S., was attributed to lower-calorie food products. Manufacturers, such as Mars, are reformulating their products and focusing on the development of sugar-free, functional, and organic variants. The introduction of these variants in the market is expected to boost value sales and help manufacturers to deliver products, which support health and wellness trend.
