- Press Release -

A recently published report by Fact.MR reveals that the global cocoa liquor market is projected to grow at a modest CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period (2022-2032), surpassing nearly US$ 8.25 Bn.

Prevalence of chocolate as one of the most sought-after and widely consumed products in the world of food & beverages has urged companies to extend the production of cocoa liquor. Over the years, a range of chocolate products such as cocoa butter have been processed through cocoa liquor.

Farmers from across the globe are increasingly shifting towards cash crops, which has incidentally spurred the global cocoa production. With ample cocoa beans at their disposal, companies in the global cocoa liquor market are setting up new processing plants and extending their production capacities.

However, a key impediment for production of cocoa liquor is the cost-intensive of edible alcohols. Since production of cocoa liquor entails the use of alcohol, environmental protection agencies are creating stringency in their supply chain, and companies are being compelled to control the toxic emissions of their processing plants.

Key Takeaways from the Market Study

• By variety, Trinitario cocoa liquor to register an expansion at 5.2% CAGR until 2032
