Dip in Hospitality Sector amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic to Dent Market Growth


The pervasive COVID-19 pandemic did not pan well for the industry outlook owing to disruptions in the cocoa supply chain and temporary shutdown or closure of hotels. Demand for real and compound chocolate declined in 2020 with the disruption in the hospitality sector. Some of the factors, such as raw material supply shortages owing to border closures and transport restrictions, challenged leading companies striving to expand their portfolios. Meanwhile, the gradual expansion of e-commerce channels and online retail could provide impetus for industry growth.

Well-established players and new entrants are poised to infuse funds into innovations and technological advancements. Accordingly, the trend for vegan products is likely to encourage leading companies to invest in the portfolio.

In March 2021, Nestlé S.A. announced the rollout of chocolates in the European market, made exclusively from cocoa beans. With the focus on taste, health and packaging, stakeholders are likely to foster real and compound chocolate market share.

Trend for Premiumization to Trigger Investments in Food & Beverage Sector


Stakeholders expect the premiumization trend to be a key growth enabler across advanced and emerging economies. With premium products becoming invaluable to brand growth, leading companies have upped focus on taste and texture. It is worth noting that the cost-effectiveness of compound chocolates has encouraged leading companies to invest in the portfolio. Prominently, emerging economies, such as China and India, are likely to witness a surge in demand for compound chocolate. Industry participants could further boost the market growth following the trend for plant-based products. However, volatile raw material prices could dent the growth prospect during the forecast period.


Leading Companies Invest in Strategic Approaches to Expand Penetration


Well-established players and new entrants are likely to invest in product launches, mergers & acquisitions, research and developments and technological advancements. The shifting global dynamics suggest that well-established and emerging players focus on innovations.
