Compound Chocolate Market Analysis
The compound chocolate market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.42% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
The COVID-19 outbreak and supply-side issues linked to quality and certification impacted the chocolate market's sales. With the impact of COVID-19, mainstream consumption of compound chocolate at the retail and industrial levels seemed stable. However, the craft chocolate segment is facing difficulties. The market is observing demand for healthy ingredients, which opens an opportunity for better-for-you chocolates at the retail and application levels.
A primary factor driving the market for compound chocolate is its functionality at a lower price, which is boosting its demand. Its functional attributes allow it to be converted as a replica of coverture or real chocolate at a lower price than coverture chocolate.
Moreover, compound chocolate contains hard fat, making it suitable for products such as granola bars and trail mixes, where baking at higher temperatures is required. The composition of compound chocolate also helps increase the product's shelf life. Companies are coming up with sustainable solutions for sourcing and the usage of cocoa butter substitutes or cocoa butter equivalents in products.
