Global Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE) Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE) is a type of fat that is used as a substitute for cocoa butter in chocolate and confectionery products. It is derived from vegetable oils, such as palm, shea, or illipe, and undergoes various processes to mimic the physical and chemical properties of cocoa butter. CBE is often used to lower production costs as cocoa butter can be expensive and subject to price fluctuations. While CBE provides similar functionality to cocoa butter in terms of texture and stability, it may not replicate the exact flavor profile of cocoa butter. As a result, chocolate products containing CBE may have a slightly different taste compared to those made with pure cocoa butter. The use of CBE is a common practice in the chocolate industry to ensure the availability and affordability of chocolate products while maintaining desirable qualities for consumers.
