Rising Awareness of Dark Chocolate Augurs Well for Market

With globalization and unprecedented proliferation of the media, the benefits of dark chocolate is known worldwide. Elaborates the lead analyst of the TMR report, “Dark chocolate is comprised of flavonoids and different other compounds that have potent antioxidant properties which help in protecting against cardiovascular and circulatory diseases.” This has resulted in the soaring demand of dark chocolate in various confectionery products and with globalization and better trade and commerce channels their sales have managed to increase in tandem. This, in turn has benefitted the global market for confectionery ingredients.

Adoption of Western Food Habits Pushes up Demand

In addition to that, the increasing uptake of western food habits, particularly in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific and the Middle East, has also led to rising demand for confectionary ingredients. This is because of the widespread popularity of bakery products such as cakes, biscuits, buns, and pastry, among others, which has led to the soaring usage of confectionary products. The increasing disposable incomes of the people has led them to buy more of such products instead of cooking traditional snacks at home.
