Report Overview
The Oman cocoa products and industrial chocolate market size was valued at USD 45.43 Million in 2025. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.40% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a valuation of USD 76.87 Million by 2035.
The market is driven by increasing demand from gourmet chocolatiers, premium bakeries, and high-end food & beverage operators. At the Food & Hospitality Oman 2022, the United Kingdom’s Pâtissier Chocolate showcased its premium range, signaling sustained interest in high-end couverture and compound imports, and growing inclusion of international players in Oman.
Further, as everyday occasions increasingly involve celebrations with chocolate, consumers in Oman are seeking guilt-free indulgence. Demand is growing for dark chocolate with fewer additives, positioned as a healthier choice that complements a balanced diet while offering nutritional benefits. A real life launch reflecting this is ChocoTal’s, an Omani artisan brand launched in 2019 that emphasizes pleasure without guilt, offering dark chocolates free of white sugar, palm oil, dairy, gluten and preservatives. Such instances are driving the Oman cocoa products and industrial chocolate market development.

Key Trends and Recent Developments
Bakery sector growth
The increasing food processing and confectionery industries play a vital role in fueling the Oman cocoa products and industrial chocolate demand. The industrial use of cocoa butter, liquor, and powder is sustained by the rising number of bakeries, dessert chains, and domestic chocolate makers. From 2023 to 2025, there are 800 Bakeries in Oman, which is an increase of 10.41%. This increase is due to the growing demand for chocolate-enriched baked products and high-end desserts.
Increased Consumer Demand for Premium Chocolate
Oman's urban and expatriate consumers are increasingly interested in high-quality, artisanal, and dark chocolates. This favors the market for compound chocolates and higher-grade cocoa inputs by industrial manufacturers. Oman's urban population for 2023 was 4,463,554, up by 7.54% from 2022. supermarket expansion still stimulates demand for industrial chocolate in chocolate-based packaged food and beverages.
Growth of retail industries
Increasing growth in supermarkets drives the Oman industrial chocolate and cocoa products market share through chocolate-packaged food and drinks. As of 2025, Oman boasts approximately 857 supermarkets, a 10.54% boost from 2023. This growth is part of a larger trend of urbanization and increased consumer purchasing power in the region. As supermarkets are increasingly spread out and accessible, there is more shelf space and product variety provided, urging manufacturers to produce more chocolate-filled products.
Growth in Foodservice and Hospitality Industry
Oman's increasing foodservice and hospitality sectors such as hotels, restaurants, and cafes are creating menus that are increasingly featuring chocolate-based products. These trends can lead to increased demand for bulk industrial chocolate products, such as couverture chocolate and chocolate sauces, to be used in sweets, drinks, and baked goods. Oman's tourism sector is also developing, with over 4 million tourists projected in 2024, which in turn is growing the Oman cocoa products and industrial chocolate market value.
Functional Innovation in Chocolate Products
Healthy, functional, and better-for-you food are becoming more and more desirable among consumers and is also influencing the development of chocolate products in Oman. This trend has led manufacturers to test new formulations of chocolate with low or no sugar, high cocoa content, and fortified with other wholesome ingredients that appeal to the health-conscious consumer. For example, Bateel Oman began offering its "Pure Balance" range of dark chocolates, produced with 85% cocoa content and natural sweeteners in 2025, to provide local producers with a manner of meeting this growing demand for healthy but indulgent chocolate products.
