세계의 코코아 및 초콜릿 시장 : 코코아 유형별, 초콜릿 유형별, 성질별, 용도별, 제품 형태별, 유통 채널별, 지역별 예측(-2030년)

The cocoa and chocolate market is projected to reach USD 28.24 billion by 2030 from an estimated USD 23.69 billion in 2025, registering a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period. Cocoa and chocolate play a significant role in global consumption patterns, finding use in confectionery, bakery products, beverages, dairy items, and health applications.

The primary driver of market growth is the rising demand for a combination of health benefits and indulgent experiences, along with a focus on ethical sourcing. Additionally, there is a rising preference for diverse flavors and formats.

Shifting consumer demographics, coupled with urbanization and the expansion of digital commerce, are making the market more accessible to consumers. Sustainability has become a critical concern, prompting manufacturers to prioritize traceable sourcing and environmentally friendly practices. In response to these trends, companies are increasingly investing in research and development, product customization, and premium offerings to remain competitive.

The growth potential in this industry is particularly strong in emerging economies, where rising disposable incomes and improved retail infrastructure are positively impacting cocoa and chocolate consumption.

"Conventional cocoa is experiencing significant growth due to its cost-efficiency, established supply chains, and sustained demand from mass-market applications."

Conventional cocoa dominates the global market due to its widespread use in chocolate manufacturing, bakery products, dairy items, and beverages. Its competitive pricing compared to organic or specialty cocoa makes it particularly attractive to large manufacturers focused on low-cost, high-volume sales. The primary cocoa-producing countries, like Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria, contribute significantly to the supply of conventional cocoa, ensuring a stable and adequate market.

Additionally, strong demand for conventional cocoa arises in emerging economies, where purchasing power and price considerations influence consumer decisions. As major producers, multinational chocolate companies source conventional cocoa for their mainstream products through bulk procurement and long-term contracts. While segments such as organic or fair trade cocoa are gradually gaining acceptance, they remain niche markets compared to the mainstream appeal of conventional cocoa. Overall, the scalability, versatility, and price competitiveness of conventional cocoa make it the primary growth segment in the industry.

"The dark chocolate segment holds a significant share in the chocolate type segment of the cocoa and chocolate market."

Consumers are increasingly favoring dark chocolates with higher cocoa content. Higher cocoa percentages are often linked to health benefits such as improved heart health, antioxidant properties, and lower sugar levels compared to milk chocolate. This trend aligns with the growing demand for low-sugar and plant-based options. According to the National Confectioners Association (NCA), 61% of consumers surveyed in 2024 expressed a preference for dark chocolate due to its perceived health benefits.

This shift has captured the attention of major chocolate manufacturers in recent years. For example, in March 2023, Lindt & Sprungli expanded its EXCELLENCE portfolio with a 95% cocoa dark chocolate to cater to the demand for high-intensity cocoa profiles. In April 2024, Nestle launched its "Mindful Chocolate" range featuring KitKat in Europe, highlighting dark chocolate that offers functional benefits, such as magnesium and chamomile extract.

The trend towards clean-label products further drives growth, as consumers prefer dark chocolate with fewer ingredients, organic certifications, and labels that support ethical sourcing. This preference is notably growing in North America and Europe, making it one of the fastest-growing segments in the chocolate market.

Europe holds a significant share of the global cocoa and chocolate market.

Europe holds a significant market share in the global cocoa and chocolate industry due to its long-standing tradition of manufacturing, strong consumer preferences, and robust regulatory frameworks. In countries like Switzerland, Belgium, France, and Germany, major companies such as Lindt & Sprungli, Barry Callebaut, and Ferrero continuously innovate in product development, ethical sourcing, and high-quality formulations. European consumers are presented with an abundance of premium chocolate options, including dark, organic, and sugar-free varieties, which cater to health-conscious trends.

In January 2025, the Bean-to-Bar Sustainability Line of Lindt & Sprungli (Switzerland) was inaugurated in Olten, Switzerland, enhancing traceability and ethical sourcing with the help of blockchain validation for cocoa sourced from Ghana and Ecuador. The investment highlights the region's commitment to sustainability and production-level transparency. Europe's advanced retail setup, strong export capability, and regional authority in sustainability together counterpoise its superior share in the global cocoa and chocolate market to keep itself abreast of trends in ethical and premium chocolate-making.

In-depth interviews were conducted with chief executive officers (CEOs), Directors, and other executives from various key organizations operating in the cocoa and chocolate market:

In the cocoa and chocolate industry, the major players are Barry Callebaut (Switzerland), Cargill (US), Olam International (Singapore), Nestle (Switzerland), Mondelez International (US), and Ferrero Group (Italy). These companies maintain great market positions because of their global status, integrated supply chains, and diversified product portfolios that sell across industrial and consumer segments.

The other important ones include Lindt & Sprungli (Switzerland), Mars, Incorporated (US), Blommer Chocolate Company (US), Guan Chong Berhad (Malaysia), JB Foods Limited (Singapore), and ECOM Agroindustrial Corp. (Switzerland). These companies are given credit for their strategic emphasis on sustainable sourcing and product innovation, investing heavily in traceability and ethical supply chain practices.

Additionally, mid-sized and emerging competitors like Natra (Spain), Luker Chocolate (Colombia), Cocoa Family (Dominican Republic), and GENCAU.BR (Brazil) serve as demand generators for their single-origin and artisanal chocolates in niche markets throughout Europe and the Americas. These companies are fostering market competition, product differentiation, and innovation to meet the growing global demand for ethically sourced, high-end, and health-conscious chocolate products.
