Global Cocoa Butter Substitutes (CBS) Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Cocoa Butter Substitutes (CBS) are fats that are used as alternatives to cocoa butter in various food applications, especially in the chocolate and confectionery industries. CBS are typically derived from vegetable oils, such as palm, shea, kokum, or illipe, and are carefully processed to mimic the physical and chemical properties of cocoa butter. They provide similar functionalities to cocoa butter, such as solidifying at room temperature and offering a smooth texture, but they may have different melting points and flavor profiles. While CBS can be an economical option compared to cocoa butter, they may not impart the exact taste and mouthfeel characteristic of cocoa butter. The use of CBS allows manufacturers to produce chocolate products at a lower cost while maintaining desirable qualities and stability. However, for high-quality chocolates, cocoa butter is still preferred for its unique taste and premium characteristics.
