Global Cocoa Processing Market

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Cocoa Processing Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global cocoa processing market size reached 4.29 Million Tons in 2018. Cocoa processing refers to the process of converting cocoa beans into products such as cocoa powder, liquor and butter. These cocoa-based products are rich in magnesium, which catalyzes protein synthesis and energy production, and copper, a mineral required for iron transport, glucose metabolism and brain development. They are also considered as superfoods with the ability to boost mental performance as well as enhance mood.

Global Cocoa Processing Market Trends:

Cocoa beans have high amounts of flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and theobromine, which are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. Flavonoids are further associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as arrhythmia, heart attack, cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This has led to an increase in the demand for cocoa-based products among health-conscious consumers. Also, cocoa remains an indispensable raw material for the global chocolate industry, which is significantly contributing to the market growth. Apart from the chocolate industry, the uses of cocoa are widening in a number of other applications from bakery, dairy, beverages to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In the personal care industry, cocoa-based products, such as cocoa butter, are found in over-the-counter skin products, such as lotions, lip balms, creams and soap bars, which are intended to moisturize the skin and treat chapped lips. They are also used as coating and flavoring agents in various supplements and medicines. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach 4.66 Million Tons by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 1.40% during 2019-2024.
