Demand for Cocoa Beans and Impact of COVID-19……..
The global cocoa beans
market size is expected to reach USD 16.32 billion by 2025 registering a
CAGR of 7.3%, according to a new
report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing popularity of cocoa beans as
polyphenolic functional ingredient on account of their health benefits, such as
reduced inflammation and risk of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), better blood
circulation, and improved cholesterol levels, is projected to remain a
favorable factor. Furthermore, increasing usage of organic personal care
products due to their long-lasting skin care benefits is expected to boost the
demand for cocoa beans in the cosmetics sector, thereby driving the global
market.
Amidst the global pandemic crisis and the
indefinite lockdown across nations, the consumer food & beverage industry
first witnessed high demand for household staples, healthy food items, and
consumables with longer shelf lives. The demand for frozen food products,
fruits & vegetables, eggs, flour, and whole grains, among others, witnessed
a considerable increase during the early stages of the crisis. Presently, most
companies in the industry are faced with low consumption of their products and
supply chain challenges. The companies are focusing more on altering their
supply chains in order to reinforce their online presence and delivery
measures, in an attempt to adapt to the present business environment. The
changes in consumer buying behavior and the dynamic shifts towards online and
D2C distribution channels may have serious implications on the near future
growth of the industry. Our team is diligently working towards accounting these
factors in our report with the aim of providing you with the up-to-date,
actionable market information and projections.
Increasing usage of cocoa butter as
functional ingredient in the formulation of chocolates is also expected to be
one of the key factors augmenting market growth. In addition, new product
launches in premium categories including dark chocolate by major confectionery
firms like Mondelēz International, Inc. is projected to expand the application
scope of the product, thereby supporting market growth. On the other hand,
pharmaceuticals is expected to remain the fastest-growing application segment
with a CAGR of 8.1% from 2019 to 2025.
Key industry participants include The Hershey
Company; Cargill, Inc.; The Barry Callebaut Group; Puratos Group; Blommer
Chocolate Company; Cemoi; Meiji Holdings Company; Jindal Cocoa; and United

chocolate is targeted for millennials and their desire for hedonistic
indulgence.

beans market. Cocoa plants are susceptible to pests and vulnerable to harsh
