Snacking has become a major trend across regions as it not only provides energy for activities throughout the day but also provides valuable nutrients, such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, and fiber. People consuming healthy snacks can also decrease their hunger while keeping them from overeating at meal time. Snackification has become a new trend among consumers who prefer ‘on-the-go’ foods due to a hectic lifestyle. Hence, it becomes necessary for individuals to opt for food products such as chocolate-based spreads for extra nutrients and energy. Such factors, in turn, are leading to the increased popularity of chocolate-based spreads through the evolving retail landscape, coupled with the developing food service sector.

The Asia-Pacific held the largest share of the global industry revenues in 2018. Australia holds the largest share in the chocolate spread market as the chocolate spread is largely consumed among other food spreads in the country. Changing lifestyles and breakfast patterns have significantly impacted the chocolate spread sales in the region. Market players are finding key opportunities to introduce chocolate spreads into China’s larger markets by targeting imported food stores. Also, the adoption of Western culture and foods have replaced traditional foods with bread and toasts, thus, increasing the demand for spreads.
