Over the forecast period, researchers expect this regional market to remain on the top, thanks to the high consumption rate of confectionery products, such as chocolates and gums.

Rising Awareness about Benefits of Dark Chocolate to Reflect Positively on Usage of Confectionery Ingredients

“The increasing consumption of chocolates is the key factor behind the rising demand for confectionery ingredients across the world,” says a TMR researcher. The rising level of awareness among consumers regarding the health benefits of dark chocolates is another significant factor fueling the usage of confectionery ingredients. The growing intake of premium chocolates and bakery items in affluent countries is also aiding this market remarkably by sourcing more cocoa and other ingredients to manufacture these products. With the sudden decrease in the price of cocoa, manufacturers and other sourcing companies can purchase it now at a lower price and stock it for future usage, which is expected increase their profit in the near future.

The increasing adoption of western culture is likely to influence the demand for confectionery products, which also is anticipated to boost the growth of the worldwide confectionery ingredients market over the forecast period. However, the presence of stringent international quality standards and regulations may limit the usage of these ingredients, reflecting negatively on this market, reports the research study.
