PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Chocolate confectionery will show resilience, despite rising prices
The Dominican Republic’s strong tradition of consuming chocolate confectionery is expected to drive resilient growth in constant value terms (at 2025 prices) throughout the forecast period, despite ongoing pressure on household incomes. This growth will be supported by widespread consumption across a variety of occasions, from everyday treats to special celebrations.
E-commerce will gain from advances in digital payments
E-commerce is experiencing strong growth in the Dominican Republic, albeit from a low base. This is being driven by increased use of digital platforms and the rapid development of online shopping platforms by modern retail channels.
Rise of health-conscious choices
While price will remain the primary concern for shoppers, chocolate confectionery with a lower sugar content is expected to gain popularity throughout the forecast period, particularly among younger consumers. The market for organic offerings is also projected to expand, creating opportunities for local manufacturers.
