The global cocoa market is growing due to the growing demand of cocoa-based products such as cocoa drinks, chocolate, cocoa butter, and cocoa liquor. Demand for Natural Cocoa, particularly chocolate, has risen dramatically in emerging markets such as India and China in recent years. Additionally, the advent of cocoa-based health drinks and a variety of new chocolate confectionery goods is pushing global cocoa consumption.
On the other hand, the market is being challenged by high production costs and a lack of cocoa supplies. Weather plays a big role in influencing the quality and amount of cocoa beans that are grown each year, thus bad weather can lead to low yield, which is a major issue for the industry.
