然而,由於原物料價格波動和供不應求,市場正面臨巨大的不利因素,這嚴重擠壓了利潤空間,並抑制了加工速度。投入成本的上升導致價格頻繁上漲,削弱了消費者的購買力,並減少了工業生產,從而有效地限制了銷售量成長。歐洲可可協會的最新數據也印證了加工活動的萎縮,該協會報告稱,2025年第三季歐洲可可壓榨量年減4.8%,至337,353噸。
隨著消費者對高階和專門食品巧克力的需求不斷成長,市場格局正在發生根本性的重塑。富裕的消費者越來越傾向選擇高品質、手工製作且具有地理特色的產品,而非大眾市場的糖果甜點。這一趨勢迫使原料供應商拓展產品系列,推出單一產地可可液利口酒和高品質可可脂,這些產品相比標準散裝產品,能夠提供更獨特的風味和更優質的口感。優質化使製造商能夠透過瞄準對價格敏感度較低的消費群體,來保護利潤免受原料成本波動的影響,並實現不依賴銷售成長的價值成長。瑞士蓮於2024年7月發布的《2024年上半年報告》也印證了這個策略。該報告顯示,其有機銷售量成長了7.0%,主要得益於定價能力和強勁的高階市場表現。
同時,對永續和符合道德的可可豆採購的關注正從一種行銷策略演變為一項至關重要的商業需求。大型加工商正大力投資於可追溯性和後向整合,以滿足歐盟森林砍伐法規 (EUDR) 等嚴格的監管要求,並降低西非的供應風險。這些措施對於確保獲得抗病性強、產量高的可可品種至關重要,從而保障長期的工業化生產。例如,雀巢公司於 2024 年 6 月發布的「收入提升計畫進度報告」顯示,參與該計畫的農民的產量比對照組高出 18%。然而,這些結構性變化和不斷上漲的原物料價格也帶來了巨大的成本。百樂嘉利寶公司在 2024 年 11 月發布的「2023/24 會計年度全年業績報告」中指出,其銷售額成長了 22.6%,達到 104 億瑞士法郎,這主要得益於該公司能夠將創紀錄的可可豆價格轉嫁給工業客戶。
持續的供不應求和原料價格波動嚴重阻礙了巧克力原料行業的持續成長。當可可豆等關鍵原料產量突然下降時,採購成本飆升會嚴重侵蝕製造商的利潤率。為了維持財務永續性,加工商往往被迫縮減加工規模或將增加的成本轉嫁給消費者,此舉抑制了對糖果甜點的需求並限制了工業生產。因此,可可利口酒和可可脂等關鍵衍生產品的短缺阻礙了該行業充分利用全球趨勢的能力。
產能下降的趨勢在歐洲以外的主要加工地區最為顯著。根據亞洲可可協會的數據,2025年第三季亞洲可可壓榨量年減17%,至183,413公噸。加工量的顯著下降表明,原料成本上漲和供不應求正直接迫使製造商減產,從而有效減緩了整體市場成長勢頭。
製造商正日益充分利用可可豆莢的整個生質能,顯著擴大了可可果皮甜味劑和整個可可果實的使用量,從而擺脫了傳統的僅提取可可豆的方法。這一趨勢正在利用以往被丟棄的果皮和白色果肉,創造出麵粉替代品和天然甜味劑等創新成分,提供潔淨標示的選擇,減少對精製糖的依賴。透過將農產品轉化為高附加價值衍生,供應商在實現永續性目標的同時,也滿足了消費者對加工更少、營養更豐富的產品的需求。 2025年10月出版的《食品與飲料展望》雜誌發表了題為「Cabosse Naturals:對抗食物廢棄物之戰」的文章,強調了這種資源效率的重要性。文章指出,傳統上70%的可可果實都被浪費掉了,這促使該產業策略性地轉向對這些材料進行增值回收。
同時,以杏仁、椰子和燕麥為原料的植物奶替代品的廣泛應用,正從根本上改變著牛奶巧克力的食材配方。這一趨勢正超越小眾的純素食選擇,推動水解粉和無乳脂肪脂肪體系的主流化應用,這些產品能夠複製牛奶的口感和醇厚質地,且不會對環境造成影響。隨著彈性素食主義生活方式的興起,製造商正積極調整產品系列,專注於使用高性能的植物性脂肪和蛋白質,以確保風味中性和穩定性。世界烘焙師協會(World Bakers)在2025年4月發布的報告也印證了這個產業的商業性發展:2019年至2023年,歐洲植物性巧克力創新產品的複合年成長率高達25%,凸顯了產業對非乳製品替代品的持續需求。
The Global Chocolate Ingredients Market is projected to expand from USD 17.89 Billion in 2025 to USD 22.52 Billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 3.91%. These ingredients, which are critical raw materials for confectionery and food manufacturing, specifically include cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, sweeteners, and emulsifying agents. The industry's upward trajectory is primarily supported by rising global disposable incomes that drive demand for premium foods, alongside the widening utilization of cocoa derivatives in bakery, dairy, and beverage sectors. Furthermore, the strategic pivot toward traceable and certified supply chains is boosting industrial procurement volumes, thereby securing operational stability for major producers facing structural demand.

However, the market faces significant headwinds due to raw material price instability and supply shortages, which severely pressure profit margins and constrain processing rates. Elevated input costs frequently force price increases that weaken consumer purchasing power and lower industrial output, effectively capping volume growth. This contraction in processing activity is evident in recent data from the European Cocoa Association, which reported that third-quarter European cocoa grindings in 2025 declined by 4.8 percent year-on-year to 337,353 metric tonnes.
Market Driver
The market is being fundamentally reshaped by growing consumer appetite for premium and specialty chocolate, as affluent buyers increasingly favor high-quality, artisanal, and origin-specific products over mass-market confectionery. This trend forces ingredient suppliers to broaden their portfolios with single-origin cocoa liquors and superior cocoa butters that provide distinct flavor profiles and better texture than standard bulk options. By embracing premiumization, manufacturers can shield margins from volatile input costs by targeting less price-sensitive demographics, successfully decoupling value growth from strict volume expansion. This strategy is validated by Lindt & Sprungli's 'Half-Year Report 2024' from July 2024, which noted organic sales growth of 7.0 percent, driven mainly by pricing power and resilience in the premium sector.
Simultaneously, the focus on sustainable and ethically sourced cocoa has evolved from a marketing tactic to a crucial operational necessity. Major processors are heavily investing in traceability and backward integration to satisfy strict mandates like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and to reduce supply risks in West Africa. These measures are vital for securing disease-resistant, high-yield cocoa varieties that guarantee long-term industrial throughput. For example, Nestle's 'Income Accelerator Program Progress Report' in June 2024 showed that participating farming households achieved yields 18 percent higher than control groups. However, these structural shifts and raw material inflation come with significant costs; in its 'Full-Year Results 2023/24' from November 2024, Barry Callebaut reported a 22.6 percent revenue increase to CHF 10.4 billion, largely due to passing historically high bean prices on to industrial clients.
Market Challenge
Persistent supply deficits and raw material price volatility represent a major hurdle to the continued growth of the chocolate ingredients sector. When key inputs like cocoa beans suffer sharp production declines, the resulting spike in procurement costs severely undermines manufacturer profit margins. To remain financially viable, processors often must curtail grinding operations or pass these increased costs to consumers, a dynamic that dampens demand for finished confectionery and places a ceiling on industrial volume. Consequently, the physical scarcity of critical derivatives such as cocoa liquor and butter hinders the industry's ability to fully leverage rising global consumption trends.
This reduction in operational throughput is distinctly visible in major processing hubs outside of Europe. Data from the Cocoa Association of Asia indicates that in the third quarter of 2025, cocoa grindings in Asia fell by 17 percent year-on-year to 183,413 metric tonnes. Such substantial drops in processing output illustrate how prohibitive input costs and supply unavailability directly compel manufacturers to scale back production, thereby actively slowing the growth trajectory of the broader market.
Market Trends
The use of upcycled pulp sweeteners and whole cacao fruit is gaining considerable momentum as manufacturers aim to utilize the entire cocoa pod biomass rather than extracting only the beans. This movement fosters the creation of innovative ingredients where the husk and white pulp, historically discarded, are processed into flour alternatives and natural sweeteners, providing a clean-label option that lessens dependence on refined sugars. By converting agricultural by-products into value-added derivatives, suppliers are simultaneously meeting sustainability targets and consumer desire for less-processed, nutrient-rich formulations. The magnitude of this resource efficiency is highlighted by Food & Beverage Outlook in October 2025, noting in 'Cabosse Naturals : Fighting Food Waste' that 70 percent of the cacaofruit is traditionally discarded, prompting a strategic industry pivot toward upcycling this material.
Concurrently, the incorporation of plant-based milk alternatives like almond, coconut, and oat derivatives is fundamentally changing the formulation of milk chocolate ingredients. This trend has moved beyond niche vegan products to drive the mainstream use of hydrolyzed powders and dairy-free fat systems that mimic the mouthfeel and creamy texture of bovine milk without its environmental impact. As flexitarian lifestyles grow, manufacturers are aggressively adjusting their portfolios to feature high-performance plant fats and proteins that guarantee flavor neutrality and stability. Confirming the commercial vitality of this sector, World Bakers reported in April 2025, in 'Cargill Reveals the Top Easter Chocolate Trends Shaping Consumer Choices in 2025', that European plant-based chocolate innovations saw a 25 percent average annual growth rate from 2019 to 2023, emphasizing sustained industrial demand for non-dairy options.
