Increasing awareness about the health benefits associated with the consumption of cocoa-rich products, such as dark chocolates, is affecting the market positively. Cocoa provides a large number of benefits. For instance, it decreases hypertension, reduces the indications of chronic fatigue syndrome, provides protection against sunburn, promotes heart health etc. These benefits associated with cocoa make one of the crucial drivers responsible for the expansion and growth of the global cocoa market. Aggressive advertisements and promotional activities by chocolate manufacturers for brand recognition is another major driver in the cocoa market.

Availability of a wide variety of chocolate flavours and different types of chocolates is resulting in growing consumer base.
