With the continuous improvement of residents’ living standards and changes in consumption habits, chocolate snacks, as a popular snack food, are increasingly becoming the darling of consumers. Especially in areas that attach great importance to creating a holiday atmosphere and improving the quality of life, such as China, the United States and Europe, the market demand for nut-rich chocolate snacks is steadily increasing.
Global chocolate market demand continues to grow
According to earlier data, the global chocolate market size will reach approximately US$119.4 billion in 2023, and is expected to continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% between 2023 and 2028. This shows that global demand for chocolate snacks remains strong, and although sales of chocolate snacks in certain segments such as the United States may be flat, the overall market remains positive.
Europe is the main region for chocolate snack consumption, benefiting from consumers’ higher disposable income and preference for cocoa-based candy consumption, especially the increased awareness of dark chocolate and the growth of handmade chocolate consumption. In addition, rising health awareness across the globe has increased the demand for dark chocolate products with higher cocoa content and lower sugar, which is also an important factor driving the market growth.
As for the Chinese market, although per capita consumption is relatively low, the market potential is huge. The market size is expected to reach US$4.01 billion by 2024 and continue to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 4.81% until 2029. This shows the development space and growth potential of China’s chocolate snack market.
Therefore, the demand in the global chocolate snack market is huge, and this demand is expected to continue to expand driven by multiple factors such as health orientation, product innovation, and expansion into emerging markets. Despite economic fluctuations and changes in consumer preferences, the market fundamentals of chocolate snacks remain solid as one of the world’s most popular snacks.
