Global Cocoa Powder Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Cocoa powder is a finely ground powder made from cocoa beans that have been processed to remove most of the cocoa butter. It is a key ingredient in various culinary applications, especially in baking and confectionery. The process of making cocoa powder involves crushing roasted cocoa beans and separating the outer shell from the inner nib. The nibs are then ground into a fine paste called cocoa mass or cocoa liquor. Pressing this cocoa mass extracts cocoa butter, leaving behind a solid cake that is further processed into cocoa powder. Cocoa powder comes in two main types: natural and Dutch-processed (alkalized). Natural cocoa powder has a slightly acidic taste and is often used in recipes with baking soda, while Dutch-processed cocoa powder has a milder flavor and is treated with alkaline to neutralize acidity. Cocoa powder is commonly used to make hot chocolate, chocolate-flavored drinks, and baked goods such as cakes, brownies, and cookies, providing a rich chocolate flavor and dark color to these delectable treats. Additionally, it is often used as a dusting or garnishing ingredient on desserts and beverages for added flavor and visual appeal.
