Global Cocoa Processing Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028


Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global cocoa processing market size reached 4.58 million tons in 2022. Aided by the escalating demand for chocolate and chocolate-derived products and the deep-rooted role of cocoa in diverse food and beverage sectors, the market is projected to further grow at a CAGR of 1.3% between 2023 and 2028 to reach a volume of about 4.95 million tons by 2028.

Cocoa processing involves converting the cocoa beans into cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and cocoa powder. These derivatives find a multitude of applications, most prominently in the creation of delightful treats like chocolates, candies, and baked goods, and even beverages. Apart from its irreplaceable flavour profile, cocoa is a reservoir of antioxidants, offering health benefits that go beyond mere indulgence. In recent times, cocoa's nutritional aspects, including improved cardiovascular health and cognitive benefits, have been spotlighted.

The evergreen allure of chocolates is undeniably a prime expander of the cocoa processing market size. The evolving palate of the global populace is continually seeking novel and rich flavours in chocolates, whether it's in the form of dark, milk, or white chocolates. The burgeoning bakery and confectionery industry's reliance on high-quality cocoa derivatives further amplifies the demand. Moreover, as festive seasons roll around globally, chocolates stand as universal gifts, further bolstering the market dynamics.

The burgeoning interest in health and wellness has led to the discovery of cocoa's potential health benefits, which in turn has invigorated the cocoa processing market growth. Rich in flavonoids, cocoa is associated with reducing the risk of heart diseases, improving blood flow, and even exhibiting mood-enhancing properties. This has seen cocoa not just as a dessert's delight but also as a healthful inclusion in dietary regimes, bolstered further by its role in certain supplements and health drinks.

Its foray into the cosmetic industry is noteworthy as well. Cocoa butter, one of the prized outputs of cocoa processing, is cherished for its moisturising properties, making it a staple in lotions, creams, and lip balms. Its potential skin-rejuvenating properties, combined with a delightful aroma, accentuate its value in cosmetic formulations. In geographical terms, the Asia Pacific holds a significant portion of the cocoa processing market share.
