Chocolate as a market driver

It has been observed that Chocolate Consumption has been growing since 2019. Among all the chocolates, the preference for dark chocolate is increasing as it is rich in iron, zinc, and magnesium.

• According to a study by the  Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the best quality dark chocolate contains 70%  cocoa powder. The darker the chocolate, the higher the amount of cocoa powder with essential nutrients.
• According to “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition”, dark chocolate contains flavonoids that help in the relaxation of blood vessels that control blood pressure.
• In 2019, Dr Chris Aiken from the Clinical Psychiatry Department of Wake Forest University stated, on the basis of a cross-sectional survey, that people who ate dark chocolate every day were less likely to experience depressive symptoms by 70%. It also stated that people who strive for a healthy lifestyle tend to consume dark chocolate compared to milky chocolates. Therefore, along with children, adults are also inclined toward the consumption of dark chocolate.

Organic food products have gained popularity in recent years. Scientific research has spread awareness regarding the adverse effects of pesticides in recent years.

• One more study from Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, by Riaz Shah in 2020, states that pesticides directly or indirectly affect the nervous and endocrine systems. This leads to an adverse effect that can cause endocrine diseases.

These studies, in a way, promote the consumption of food products. This led to high demand for organic products. Therefore, when counting on dark chocolate, its essential nutritive value with organic content is viewed as the healthiest combination for consumption.

Latest developments 

• Many chocolate companies also promoted the organic method of chocolate preparation. In 2019, in India, the first "Certified Organic" chocolate brand was launched, named "Pascati." The cocoa powder used comes from Kerala’s Idukki region by an organic process. In May 2021, Cocoa Mantra, an eCommerce website, started selling a range of organic chocolate products. Additionally, an increase in the fitness-enthusiastic population raised the demand for organic products.
