According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "India Chocolate Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027," the India chocolate market reached a value of US$ 2.2 Billion in 2021. Chocolate is a food item that is generally prepared from the fruit of the Theobroma cacao. Its seeds are fermented for several days, which produces the aroma and flavor of the chocolate. These beans are further roasted in ovens to obtain nibs that are used in chocolate-making. It is widely available in various forms, such as solid, powder or pastes, and utilized as a common ingredient in the preparation of various foods, including desserts, candy, pies, ice cream and cookies. In India, the demand for chocolates is increasing due to the availability of a wide range of chocolate variants, such as unsweetened, dark, milk, semisweet, bittersweet, couverture, white and cocoa powder.   

We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.
