Growing export demand
Rising export demand is a powerful driver of the market in Turkey, as the country is leveraging its strong agricultural base, strategic location, and established confectionery tradition to strengthen its global presence. As per industry reports, Turkey's chocolate confectionery industry reached a significant achievement in the first half of 2025, with exports increasing by 61% to USD 743.5 Million, up from USD 461 Million in the equivalent period of 2024. Turkey leads internationally in the production and export of hazelnuts, an essential component in numerous chocolate goods, providing domestic manufacturers with a competitive edge in expenses and supply chain effectiveness. This abundance enables Turkish chocolate producers to craft premium, nut-filled items that attract global markets, especially in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, where the appetite for various chocolate options is steadily rising. Export expansion is not only increasing production volumes but also encouraging manufacturers to invest in modern technology, improve quality standards, and diversify their product portfolios to meet global tastes, such as sugar-free, premium, and organic chocolate lines. Rising appetite for affordable and high-quality chocolate is creating opportunities for Turkish brands to compete with established multinational players, boosting their international reputation.
Broadening of e-commerce portals
The expansion of e-commerce portals is bolstering the Turkey chocolate market growth by transforming the way people discover, purchase, and engage with chocolate brands, making products more accessible and convenient across diverse regions. As per the IMARC Group, the Turkey e-commerce market size reached USD 235.1 Billion in 2024. Online platforms allow both large multinational companies and local artisanal chocolatiers to reach a wider audience without relying solely on traditional retail channels, which is particularly valuable in a country where digital adoption is rapidly increasing. E-commerce provides people with greater product variety, including premium, niche, and imported chocolates that may not always be available in physical stores, while also offering promotional discounts, subscription services, and personalized recommendations that encourage frequent purchases. The ability to buy chocolates online for gifting, seasonal celebrations, and everyday indulgence also aligns well with Turkey’s strong culture of hospitality and sweet consumption. Furthermore, digital marketing and social media integration are enabling brands to showcase new launches, highlight unique flavors like hazelnut-rich chocolates, and engage directly with younger, tech-savvy individuals who prefer online shopping.
