Vegan Chocolate Market Analysis:

The market for vegan chocolate is experiencing steady growth, driven by rising awareness regarding the health and wellness and rising concerns about environmental impact and sustainability. For instance, The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says that emissions from the livestock industry account for 14.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Accordingly, consumers prefer products that have a smaller carbon footprint like vegan chocolate that is made without dairy substance.

The market is also driven by the rising awareness about the animal welfare problems that increases the expectations of the consumers to refrain from animal products, including vegan chocolate. The Humane Society United States estimates that there are about 10 billion animals kept and slaughtered as food on just the U.S territory alone. Vegan chocolates are the choice of people who want to avoid animal cruelty or side effects associated with animal-derived ingredients like milk.

Vegan Chocolate Market Trends:

Rising Incidence of Lactose Intolerance

Rising lactose intolerance in the world is one of the major human factors which can be associated with growing vegan chocolate sales. Lactose intolerance affects approximately 65% of the global population, as per the report published by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Lactose intolerant people may have digestive distress after ingesting dairy-based food and in such situations, they tend to prefer vegan chocolate which is basically free of dairy items. With consumers from this group becoming an emerging consumer base for plants, as well as the nut milk industry, manufacturers are being forced to extend their products into dairy-free chocolate sector. 

Health Consciousness and Dietary Trends

Ingredients such as nuts, seeds, or fruits that are now used instead of dairy seems to be a healthy choice for consumers who are becoming more aware of the health benefits of plant-based diets. Consumers who are conscious about the environmental impact of animal agriculture are also turning toward vegan chocolate. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the plant-based diets were found linked with the decreasing of cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and hypertension risks. With a growing number of people focusing on eating healthy with more and more organic and dairy-free food options, the demand for vegan chocolate and dairy products is increasing, which in turn propels the market growth.

Latest Industry News:

The market is also being driven by expanding product portfolio and launching innovative products:

• In March 2023, Hershey Co. Production in the U.S. of vegan chocolates expanded to include Reese's Plant-Based Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey's plant-based extra creamy with almonds and sea salt. Such additions to Hershey's range assist the company in meeting the exposure of customers with different preferences and increase the share of the company in the plant-based confectionery market.
• In November 2022, Lindt & Sprüngli AG, a Swiss chocolatier and confectionery company, launched a vegan bar for Veganuary, a global campaign to raise awareness, encourage and support people to eat plants for January. Their latest plant-based product - vegan caramel sea salt bar is made with gluten-free oat drink, almond paste and caramel pieces topped with sea salt.
