The global chocolate market is driven by the impulse buying behaviour of consumers across the globe. Children and grown-ups buy chocolates regardless of their economic situation as chocolates are related to impulse purchases. The industry is aided by the inflating income levels and the shifting lifestyles of the consumers. The chocolate market is further enhanced by the dynamic packaging of the chocolates as it enables a manufacturer to receive a prompt and spontaneous response from consumers. The accelerating urbanisation and prevalent availability of chocolate and derived products are expected to boost the industry.
The product has anti-ageing properties, extends antioxidants-enrichment, and has a blood pressure-suppressing character, further promoting the chocolate market growth.
