Over the forecast period, the chocolate confectionery market is anticipated to experience steady, albeit moderate, growth in both volume and value. While the global cocoa supply is expected to stabilise, helping to ease some of the extreme price volatility seen in recent years, the price of chocolate products will likely remain considerably higher than in 2023.
Environmental degradation, including deforestation linked to cocoa farming, and ethical issues such as poor working conditions, are prompting companies to rethink their sourcing strategies. These challenges are compounded by the volatility of cocoa supply due to climate change and geopolitical instability in key producing regions.
Despite a continued appetite for indulgent treats, consumers, particularly parents, are becoming increasingly concerned about the health implications of excessive sugar and fat consumption. This growing awareness is being reinforced by the upcoming new set of HFSS (high in fat, sugar, or salt) regulations, effective from October 2025.
