Market Research Overview
The Chocolate Confectionery Market caters to the younger generation's growing preference for domestic and international chocolate brands. Social media influencers on sites like Instagram and YouTube promote imported chocolate products, driving demand for premium chocolate, coated confections, truffles, and specialty chocolates. The Westernized dietary habit and snacking culture favor chocolate bars, low-calorie chocolates, and convenience.
