Further, market players such as Nestlé and The Hershey Company are focusing on innovating a low or no-sugar better-for-you portfolio in chocolate syrups with 30% less sugar variants.

The conventional chocolate syrup accounted for a significant share of the global revenue for 2021 and is expected to maintain dominance over the forecast period. The growing availability of several flavors such as dark chocolate, and white chocolate among others and the taste & flavor associated with them are driving the consumption of conventional chocolate syrups. Further, dark chocolate is becoming more popular among consumers due to its high cocoa content and flavonoids known as flavanols which are linked to a lower risk of heart disease.
