Value sales of chocolate confectionery in Ireland are expected to increase over the forecast period. However, continued price inflation will remain a key market driver, with volume sales anticipated to decline further in 2026.
Technological advancements are set to play a key role in the evolution of chocolate confectionery. Manufacturers are increasingly expected to adopt AI and machine learning within production processes to drive operational efficiency, improve consistency, and ensure high product quality.
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), set to be fully implemented by the end of 2026, is expected to significantly influence chocolate confectionery in Ireland. The regulation aims to prevent the import of products linked to deforestation, including cocoa, by prohibiting the sale of goods sourced from deforested land.
