The increasing modernization and the hectic combination of professional and personal obligations are some of the main factors that trigger the demand for practical snacks as part of the daily diet.

The busy lives of consumers do not allow them to spend time cooking and dining outside during work hours, leading them to search for food products that are easy and quick to eat. The number of consumers in the workplace is increasing today and it is increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life. Therefore, manufacturers and merchants are capitalizing heavily on introducing and promoting a variety of chocolate snacks, such as take-out snacks, chocolate bars, and the like to provide consumers with healthy food. They also focus on practical, small packaging offerings that allow consumers to carry candy and bars in their bags. Chocolate is one of the most consumed products worldwide and is associated with many health benefits.

Cocoa and sugar are important raw materials that are mainly used for the production of confectionery products worldwide. The price of sugar and cocoa has fluctuated in recent years, as its production and demand vary rapidly on the world market. Cocoa and sugar yields are affected due to adverse weather conditions, crop diseases, labor availability, stock indexes, and other economic factors that hinder demand and its offer in the market. Consequently, the average annual price of raw materials varies from low to high and results in a surplus or a sub-reserve for the production of confectionery products on the market. Consequently, fluctuations in raw material prices are expected to decrease the entire market in the coming years.
