India Chocolate Market Outlook

The India chocolate market size was valued at USD 1.80 billion in 2023. The market is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of USD 2.85 billion by 2032.

 

Key Takeaways

  • As per industry reports, the market is witnessing a high demand for dark chocolates with low sugar content as consumers have become more aware of the link between sugar and health.
  • The Indian chocolate market is also seeing a shift towards healthy chocolates, with premium chocolates being popular among health-conscious consumers who prefer to limit their confectionary consumption by treating themselves to bite-sized chocolates. 
  • The demand for sugar-free chocolates or chocolate infused with sweeteners such as stevia, monk fruit, and aspartame, among others, is also rising due to the increasing number of people with diabetes in India.

 

The demand for organic, vegan, and sugar-free chocolates is growing in India, driven by the increasing preference for healthier food options. For example, Pascati, an Indian chocolate brand, offers a range of organic and vegan chocolates made from ethically sourced ingredients. These chocolates cater to health-conscious consumers looking for guilt-free indulgence.

 

Chocolatiers in India are experimenting with innovative flavours and textures to transform the chocolate eating experience, which is leading to India chocolate market development. For instance, Mason & Co., an artisanal chocolate maker, offers unique flavours like Himalayan Pink Salt, Orange Peel, and Coconut Milk Chocolate.

 

Chocolates have become a popular snack among Indians, leading to multiple purchase cycles and an increase in consumption. Brands like Amul, Cadbury, and Nestlé have introduced smaller, snack-sized chocolate bars and pouches to cater to the growing trend of on-the-go snacking. This shift in preferences reflects the convenience and indulgence associated with chocolates as a snack option.

 

The market for premium chocolates is growing in India, as consumers are willing to pay a premium price for high-quality, exotic, and unique chocolate experiences. For example, Fabelle, the luxury chocolate brand by ITC, offers a range of premium chocolates with exquisite flavours like Ruby Gianduja, Single Origin Dark Chocolates, and Pralines.

 

Milk chocolate continue to dominate India chocolate market share, appealing to a wide range of consumers with its creamy and sweet flavour profile. The easy availability of milk chocolate in supermarkets, hypermarkets, and online retail stores, along with its extensive application in desserts, contributes to the sustained growth of the milk chocolate segment in India.
