The cocoa and chocolate market has been growing at a steady pace. Strong demand is driving the cocoa and chocolate market in the Latin America. Cocoa provides flavour, colour and texture to products. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-depressant properties. The market for these ingredients is growing especially in the developing economies like China and India. Dark chocolate contains even higher amounts of antioxidants, which are perceived to prevent certain types of diseases like Cardiac arrest. Health benefits like these, believed by certain people and doctors, have been the main reason behind growth for products with high quantities of cocoa.

Except in some very rare circumstances consumers are, in general, ready to purchase cocoa product at any given price. The growing demand for chocolate and cocoa in industries is the major driver of the market. The health-related benefits of chocolate and cocoa in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals has enough evidence needed to back manufacturers in order to consider using such ingredients.
