PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Continuing price pressure dampens volume sales
Chocolate confectionery will register further value growth over the forecast period. However, with cocoa prices likely to rise further, as climate change leads to poorer harvests, this will dampen volume sales to a degree.
Further healthy value growth in e-commerce
E-commerce is expected to gain significant value share in 2025 and is likely to continuing gaining value share over the forecast period. Delivery apps such as Rappi and Pedidos Ya will drive growth, with many supermarkets and kiosks offering direct delivery through the apps.
Consumers unconcerned about food labels, as they look for indulgence
Food labelling regulations were introduced in 2021, that require players to feature black octagon symbols on their packaging indicating excess sugar and excess fat. However, to date, the impact has been minimal in chocolate confectionery, as consumers see chocolate confectionery an indulgence and therefore do not worry as much as about nutritional content.
