Increasing popularity of Chocolate as Gifting Option to Drive Market in Asia Pacific

Consumers in Asia Pacific are increasingly making use of chocolates as a gifting option. Attractive packaging and availability of newer variants are making chocolates an attractive gifting option. Boxed chocolates are one of those categories that are being increasingly used for gifting purposes. Another factor contributing to the Asia Pacific chocolate market is the rising disposable income of consumers, which in turn allows impulse purchases of chocolates. In addition to this, Asia Pacific have 717 mn people in the age group of 15 to 24 years, as per the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. This is benefitting the growth of the market because chocolates are most popular among consumers in this age group.

Increased Chocolate Cost to Hamper Demand

Chocolates make use of cocoa as their main ingredient and cocoa production is specific only to particular regions. This results in a shortage for cocoa. In addition to this, cocoa is also in demand from bakeries, restaurants, and beverage companies, further leading to a shortage in supply. As such, the price of cocoa is increasing continuously. This in turn is increasing the cost of chocolate production, thus ultimately resulting in lower purchases by consumers. The high cost of chocolate is an issue with cost-sensitive consumers residing in Asia Pacific and thus, the market is bound to be affected adversely.

Development of Nutritional Bars for Health Conscious Consumers to Widen Scope of Chocolate Market

Consumers in Asia Pacific are shifting their preferences towards healthy food products. “Manufacturers are thus, concentrating on developing chocolates that are low in calories and in sugar content so that chocolates continue to appeal to the expanding segment of health conscious people,” says a TMR analyst. In addition to this, health benefits of dark chocolate are expected to lead to an increased demand, thus benefitting the Asia Pacific chocolate market significantly.

Increasing advertisements and extensive marketing strategies adopted by players are anticipated to create opportunities in the untapped markets of Asia Pacific. Increasing the distribution network to the untapped markets will help boost the market in the coming years.

The demand for all natural food and drinks is high in developed markets such as the U.K., Germany, and the U.S. and is anticipated to increase at a significant pace in the forthcoming years. The growing consumer preference for non-genetically modified foods is compelling the manufacturers and organizations to manufacture products free from genetically modified ingredients and redefine labeling of these products. Several countries in Europe have already imposed a ban on genetically modified products as they can be harmful to human health, animals, and the environment. Reduced production and bans of such products are benefitting the growth of the global all natural food and drinks market.

Other factors such as technological advancements in the field of food and drinks and rising prevalence of chronic diseases are driving the market. On the flip side, the lower stability of natural food and drinks reduces the shelf life of products, which adversely affects the growth of the market. Moreover, the low availability of natural flavors is leading to higher price of these products, thereby limiting the demand for these products. However, the discovery of new sources of natural materials and the increasing practice for multifunctional flavors are likely to augur well for the growth of the global all natural food and drinks market.

By product type, the market has been bifurcated into all natural food and drinks and all natural food and drinks ingredients. The latter can be further segmented into natural preservatives, natural sweeteners, natural colors, and natural flavors. The increasing consumer consciousness regarding health coupled with the growing demand for nutritional products is contributing to the growth of the natural food and drinks segment. Geographically, the market is segmented into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World (RoW). The North America market for all natural food and drinks is expected to flourish owing to the presence of health conscious population and a large patient pool suffering from chronic diseases. Emerging economies in Asia Pacific are likely to present immense untapped opportunities to manufacturers.

Mergers and acquisitions and launches of new and innovative products are the key strategies used by leading players in the global all natural food and drinks market to increase their market shares.

Demand for Processed Food Surges as Consumption Patterns Evolve

The increasing demand for processed food among consumers residing in the GCC region has complemented the growth of the cooking oil market in Qatar and other GCC countries, TMR finds. “Keeping this in mind, manufacturers operating in this market are engaged in extensive research and development activities to produce high-quality cooking oils that can address the health requirements of the consumers,” the lead analyst states. High purchasing power and the increasingly busy lifestyle of the consumers in the GCC region have altered consumption patterns and this is also pushing the demand for various cooking oils.
