Overview of the Chocolate Industry The global chocolate manufacturing industry is one such industry that survived the recession without much impact on sales. In spite of falling disposables incomes in many countries along with the volatility in commodity prices, the global chocolate industry continues to grow. In fact, in the years to 2017, revenues from the global chocolate industry are expected to grow at a rate of over 2%. With chocolate production shifting towards the growing region of South East Asia, countries such as India and China are emerging as markets with great potential for major chocolate manufacturers. Meanwhile in already mature markets such as the United States, Australia, the UK and others, the leading trend emerging is that of innovative products such as organic and natural chocolates. Kraft Foods, Nestle, Hershey’s, Mars Inc., Hershey and others are some of the leading players in the global chocolate manufacturing industry and account for a majority of the industry in terms of market share.

In the coming years, the global chocolate manufacturing industry is expected to grow at a steady rate, though growth in mature markets is likely to slow down while growth will be driven by sales from South East Asia, Latin America as well as Russia.

    The premium chocolate industry is a large market in the United States and continues to grow around 10% annually. It is also populated with very strong competitors both internationally, with companies like Godiva (Nestle), and local companies like Delice. Both competitors are priced higher than Charles and have higher sales. This is most likely because Godiva and Delice have modern trendy packaging for their products. The number and strength of competitors means that buyers have very high bargaining power, but it also means that the threat of new entrants is low because it is hard to gain a piece of a market saturated with such powerful players. The majority of the suppliers to the chocolate industry sell commodity products whose price is set by the market and their power and influence is low. There are numerous substitute products for affluent customers’, confections and pastries being the most significant, but chocolate will always be a stable product so it is a medium level threat.…
