2030 年真實與複合巧克力市場預測:按產品類型、分銷管道、形式、應用、最終用戶和地區進行全球分析Real and Compound Chocolate Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product Type (Real Chocolate, Compound Chocolate, and Other Product Types), Distribution Channel, Form, Application, End User and By Geography |
根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,全球實體和複合巧克力市場規模預計在 2024 年達到 365.6 億美元,到 2030 年將達到 582.2 億美元,預測期內的複合年成長率為 8.06%。
真正的巧克力是由高品質的可可固態、可可脂和糖按照嚴格的標準和規定製成的。一般牛奶巧克力含有奶粉、奶油等成分,而黑巧克力則含有可可,以口感順滑、口味濃郁而聞名。另一方面,複合巧克力使用棕櫚油或椰子油等植物脂肪代替可可脂。它們通常價格低廉,質地不同,常用於塗料和烘焙應用。
對優質巧克力的需求不斷增加
隨著消費者對口味和品質的越來越講究,採用奶油和可可固態等優質原料製成的優質正宗巧克力越來越受歡迎。黑巧克力由於其眾多健康益處(包括其高抗氧化劑含量)而變得越來越受歡迎。此外,優質巧克力通常具有獨特的風味組合、有機成分和道德採購,吸引具有社會意識和健康意識的市場。在高階零售和美食領域,這一趨勢正在推動真巧克力和複合巧克力的銷售。
消費者轉向植物來源替代品
人們對健康、環境永續性和動物福利的認知不斷提高,推動了對不含乳製品和純素巧克力的需求。植物來源使用杏仁奶、燕麥奶和椰奶等替代品代替傳統乳製品,吸引了乳糖不耐症和素食消費者。這種趨勢在年輕、注重健康的消費者中尤其明顯,他們優先考慮潔淨標示和符合道德標準的產品。為了滿足日益成長的需求,製造商正在對植物來源配方進行創新,為真正的巧克力和複合巧克力製造商創造機會,擴大他們的產品組合,同時滿足不斷變化的消費者偏好。
在糖果和麵包製作中的使用增加
隨著純巧克力和複合巧克力廣泛用於烘焙和糕點製作,該行業正在不斷擴大。由於其豐富的風味和適應性,麵包師和糖果零食擴大使用這些巧克力來塗抹蛋糕、餅乾、糕點和甜點。複合巧克力成本低且易融化,常用於塗層和裝飾,而真正的巧克力因其卓越的風味和質地而備受推崇,因此成為美食產品的首選。在社群媒體趨勢和美食節目的推動下,家庭糖果零食的吸引力日益增加,進一步推動了需求。巧克力配方技術的進步也使生產商能夠滿足從口味到效用等各種需求。
對人工成分的擔憂
注重健康的人們會因為潛在的健康風險而避免食用含有人工香料、色素和防腐劑的巧克力,而偏好天然成分,並仔細檢查產品標籤。這些擔憂在複合巧克力領域尤其明顯,因為該領域通常使用人工成分來增強風味、顏色和保存期限。因此,製造商正在轉向更清潔的標籤,強調天然、有機和最低限度加工的成分,以滿足不斷變化的消費者需求。此舉與巧克力產業向透明度、永續性和更健康食品選擇的更廣泛運動相吻合。
COVID-19 的影響
COVID-19 疫情對實體巧克力和複合巧克力市場產生了重大影響,擾亂了供應鏈並改變了消費者行為。封鎖導致餐飲業需求下降,但主流消費保持穩定。然而,挑戰也隨之出現,運輸問題和原料(尤其是可可)短缺影響了生產水準。儘管有這些挫折,人們已經明顯轉向選擇更健康的巧克力,越來越多的消費者因為認為黑巧克力有益健康而喜歡它,這為市場創造了新的機會。
預測期內,糖果零食預計將佔據最大佔有率
預計預測期內糖果零食將佔據最大的市場佔有率。推動成長的因素是消費者對巧克力棒、果仁糖和塗層糖果零食等巧克力製品的偏好日益成長。雖然真正的巧克力因其優良的品質和濃郁的風味而成為精緻糖果零食的首選,但複合巧克力因其成本效益和易於操作而適合大規模生產。節日和活動的季節性需求以及口味和包裝的創新進一步推動了糖果零食世界的擴張。
預測期內,零售消費領域將見證最高的複合年成長率。
由於人們對零嘴零食和高檔糖果零食的偏好日益成長,預計預測期內零售消費領域將出現最高成長。可支配收入的增加以及對黑巧克力和有機巧克力等高品質巧克力的認知不斷提高,正在推動購買。複合巧克力價格實惠、用途廣泛,對於注重預算的購物者來說,非常適合日常消費和家庭烘焙。此外,電子商務平台的擴張使得巧克力產品更容易被世界各地的零售消費者所接受。
由於可支配收入的增加、都市化以及消費者對優質但價格實惠的巧克力產品的偏好轉變,預計亞太地區將在預測期內佔據最大的市場佔有率。人們對黑巧克力的健康益處的認知不斷提高,這推動了對真正巧克力的需求,而複合巧克力的成本效益支持了其在烘焙和糖果零食的使用。季節性節日和送禮習俗進一步促進了銷售。此外,國際品牌的不斷增加和電子商務平台的擴張使得巧克力產品更容易買到,從而推動了全部區域的市場成長。
預計北美地區在預測期內將呈現最高的複合年成長率。這是因為消費者對優質、健康巧克力,尤其是可可含量高的黑巧克力的需求不斷增加。人們對有機、公平貿易和永續來源巧克力的興趣日益濃厚,也將推動市場成長。除了情人節、聖誕節等季節性需求外,零食作為偏好的消費增加也進一步推動了銷售。此外,巧克力產品的技術創新以及透過電子商務和零售業不斷增加的供應也推動了該地區真巧克力和複合巧克力越來越受歡迎。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Real and Compound Chocolate Market is accounted for $36.56 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $58.22 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.06% during the forecast period. Real chocolate is made from high-quality cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar, following strict standards and regulations. It typically includes ingredients like milk powder or cream for milk chocolate, or just cocoa for dark chocolate, and is known for its smooth texture and rich taste. Compound chocolate, on the other hand, is made by replacing cocoa butter with vegetable fats such as palm or coconut oil. It is typically less expensive, has a different texture, and is often used for coating and baking applications.
Growing demand for premium chocolate
High-grade real chocolate prepared with premium ingredients like butter and cocoa solids is becoming more and more popular as customers grow pickier about taste and quality. Particularly dark chocolate is becoming more and more well-liked because of its many health advantages, including its high antioxidant content. Furthermore, luxury chocolates frequently have distinctive flavour combinations, organic ingredients, and ethical sourcing methods, which appeal to a more socially conscious and health-sensitive market. In upscale retail and gourmet sectors, this trend is increasing sales of both real and compound chocolates.
Consumer shift to plant-based alternatives
Increasing awareness of health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare has driven demand for dairy-free and vegan chocolate options. Plant-based chocolates use alternatives like almond, oat, or coconut milk instead of traditional dairy, appealing to lactose-intolerant and vegan consumers. This trend is particularly evident among younger, health-conscious demographics who prioritize clean-label and ethically sourced products. Manufacturers are innovating with plant-based formulations to cater to this growing demand, creating opportunities for both real and compound chocolate producers to expand their portfolios while meeting evolving consumer preferences.
Rising use in baking and desserts
The industry is expanding due to the increasing use of both genuine and compound chocolate in baking and pastries. Because of their rich flavour profiles and adaptability, bakers and confectioners are using these chocolates more and more for cakes, cookies, pastries, and dessert coatings. Compound chocolate is frequently used for coatings and decorations due to its low cost and melting ease, while real chocolate is valued for its superior flavour and texture and is favoured for gourmet products. Demand is further increased by the growing appeal of baking at home, which is being driven by social media trends and food shows. Technological advancements in chocolate formulas also allow producers to satisfy a variety of needs, from taste to usefulness.
Concerns over artificial additives
Health-conscious individuals are scrutinizing product labels, avoiding chocolates containing synthetic flavors, colors, and preservatives due to potential health risks and a preference for natural ingredients. These concerns are particularly prominent in the compound chocolate segment, which often uses artificial ingredients to enhance flavour, colour, or shelf life. As a result, manufacturers are shifting toward cleaner labels, emphasizing natural, organic, and minimally processed ingredients to meet evolving consumer demands. This trend aligns with the broader movement toward transparency, sustainability, and health-focused food choices in the chocolate industry.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the real and compound chocolate market, disrupting supply chains and altering consumer behavior. Lockdowns led to decreased demand in the food service sector, while mainstream consumption remained stable. However, challenges arose from transportation issues and raw material shortages, particularly cocoa, affecting production levels. Despite these setbacks, there was a notable shift towards healthier chocolate options, with consumers increasingly favouring dark chocolate for its perceived health benefits, creating new opportunities within the market.
The confectionery segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The confectionery segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Increasing consumer preference for chocolate-based products, such as bars, pralines, and coated treats, fuels growth. Real chocolate is favoured for its premium quality and rich flavour in luxury confections, while compound chocolate's cost-effectiveness and easy handling make it ideal for mass production. Seasonal demand during holidays and events, along with innovations in flavors and packaging, further boosts the confectionery market's expansion globally.
The retail consumers segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the retail consumers segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to growing preferences for indulgent snacks and premium confectionery. Rising disposable incomes and increasing awareness of high-quality chocolate options, such as dark and organic variants, encourage purchases. Compound chocolate's affordability and versatility also appeal to budget-conscious buyers for everyday consumption and home baking. Seasonal trends, like holidays and gifting occasions, further amplify demand, while the expansion of e-commerce platforms makes chocolate products more accessible to retail consumers worldwide.
During the forecast period, Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share, due to rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and evolving consumer preferences for premium and affordable chocolate products. Increased awareness of health benefits, especially of dark chocolate, boosts demand for real chocolate, while compound chocolate's cost-effectiveness supports its use in baking and confectionery. Seasonal festivals and gifting traditions further amplify sales. Additionally, the growing presence of international brands and the expansion of e-commerce platforms make chocolate products more accessible, driving market growth across the region.
Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to mounting consumer demand for premium and healthier chocolate options, particularly dark chocolate with high cocoa content. Growing interest in organic, fair-trade, and sustainably sourced chocolates also fuels market growth. The rise in indulgent snack consumption, along with seasonal demand during holidays like Valentine's Day and Christmas, further boosts sales. Additionally, innovations in chocolate products, along with the expanding availability through e-commerce and retail, contribute to the growing popularity of both real and compound chocolates in the region.
