Supermarkets/hypermarkets and convenience stores collectively hold a major share, along with a strong presence across the country
- Supermarkets/hypermarkets have always maintained a strong lead in the country's confectionery sales. Chocolate is largely sold through supermarkets and hypermarkets, accounting for a market volume share of 81.16% in 2023. Strategic product positioning on the dedicated shelves for the chocolate category influences impulse purchase behavior among potential consumers. Casino Supermarkets, Carrefour, Woolworths, and Spar are some of the leading grocery store operators in the country.
- A nationwide network of these operators allows easy access to local and mainstream chocolate confectionery brands. As of 2022, Dia had more than 737 stores in Brazil, Carrefour had about 1203 locations, and Assai had more than 263 supermarket chains.
- Convenience stores are the second most widely preferred distribution channel for purchasing chocolate confectionery after supermarkets and hypermarkets. The sales volume of chocolate confectionery through convenience stores is estimated to register a 30.87% share in 2024. The broader reach and easy access to private label brands drive the consumer preference for traditional grocery stores over other retail channels. Chocolate sales are estimated to record the highest CAGR through convenience stores, reaching a sales value of USD 89,406.05 million in 2030.
- The online channel is projected to be the fastest-growing distribution channel for chocolate confectionery, with an anticipated CAGR of 5.36% in terms of value during the forecast period. The evolving role of online channels in grocery purchases is further boosted by the increasing internet penetration. There were about 165.3 million internet users in Brazil in January 2022.
