The Global Chocolate Syrup Market size is expected to reach $24.8 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 13.8% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2023, the market attained a volume of 972.44 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 6.8% (2020-2023).
This can be attributed to the high consumer footfall in these large retail outlets, which offer various chocolate syrup brands and flavors at competitive prices. Hypermarkets and supermarkets provide the convenience of one-stop shopping, often featuring promotions or discounts that attract price-conscious consumers. Their ability to stock a broad range of products, including conventional and organic options, ensures that they cater to diverse customer preferences, driving significant sales. Thus, the hypermarkets/supermarkets segment witnessed 44% revenue share in the chocolate syrup market in 2023. In terms of volume 609.18 kilo tonnes of chocolate syrup are expected to be sold by hypermarket/supermarket by 2031.
The versatility of chocolate syrup also contributes to its widespread appeal in various culinary applications. It can be used as a key ingredient in baked goods, such as brownies, cakes, and pastries, adding richness and depth to recipes. Its use extends to home cooking and the food service industry, where it is seen as a go-to ingredient for chefs and bakers looking to quickly and efficiently create crowd-pleasing desserts. Additionally, with the convenience of food delivery apps, consumers now expect restaurant-quality desserts and beverages to be delivered straight to their doorsteps. This has prompted restaurants to innovate and offer more appealing, customizable dessert options, often featuring chocolate syrup, such as chocolate-drenched pancakes, brownies, or personalized sundae kits. Thus, this sector's growth is propelling the market's growth.
However, despite the health benefits of cacao or chocolate, many chocolate syrups use less than 5% of chocolate compounds to render any benefits to the syrup. Moreover, artificial colors and flavors are added to the syrup to treat the lack of color caused by low cacao content. While the FDA approves colors like E150, colors like E154 and E155 are known to have some side effects and, consequently, are not approved by the FDA. Therefore, the presence of high sugar and low cacao in many syrup variants is slowing down the growth of the chocolate syrup market.
