Global Chocolate Market Size Analysis, 2018-2028
| REPORT ID: BKR782 | Domain: Food & Beverages | Published Date: August 2018 |
Global Chocolate Market is estimated to be valued over US$ 105 Billion in 2018 and is set to register a CAGR of 2.5% to create higher revenue opportunity for industry players.
Over the years, the chocolate industry has grown manifold and is witnessing rapid transition with changing consumer taste preferences. Most consumers have their own local preferences. As such, there has been a wide range of diversity in product offerings – resulting in market capitalization by numerous small scale players.
Heightened competition from regional players and product personalization has led leading companies to focus on product innovation. Leading c ompanies outsources their production to contract manufacturers while, actively spending on R&D and marketing purpose. Higher R&D spending is likely to play a major role in chocolate ecosystem. Personalization is another major factor that will play a key role in overall sales. Few companies are already offering personalized chocolates to consumers in Western Europe. The trend is likely to hit the developing economies with changing spending behavior.
Merger and acquisition is another prominent chocolate market trend. There has been a series of mergers and acquisitions in order to capture a major chunk of global share. Nestle, Ferrero, Kraft Jacobs, Masterfoods and Mondelez holds significant global share. These companies accounted for over 67% of Western Europe share in 2017. The success behind dominating the global share is the amount of time spent on building global brand recognition. Emergence of social media platform has further helped these companies to effectively strengthen their business presence especially in South East Asia and Africa. These platforms also helps companies to focus on product innovation than on marketing. This can be gauged from the fact that cumulative R&D spending has increased by 7.3% in last ten years as compared to that on marketing (3.9%).
On demand level, rapid urbanization and changing lifestyle has created favorable ecosystem for sales of chocolates worldwide. While the demand is set to increase at a substantial rate, fluctuating raw material prices has been at core concern for many industry players. Low profit margins has even further limited any external impact. Few companies are therefore focusing on adopting vertical supply chain model (from raw material supplier to manufacturing and distribution end).
Global Chocolate Value Chain Analysis
The industry is significantly concentrated at each value chain. While most of the cocoa is procured from Africa, standardization in export has led to elimination of small scale players. As such, the supplier ratio has declined considerably in last decade.
At manufacturer’s level, mergers and acquisition has concentrated the brand presence. Inorganic growth strategy has certainly helped these players to ensure long term sustainability and higher profit margins.
