Japan Cocoa Market Growth

There is an increasing interest among businesses in sourcing cocoa sustainably from West African farms.

Despite the high prices of cocoa, its application in manufacturing desserts and chocolates is expected to continue, as the demand for cocoa products and sweets is expected to increase over the forecast period. Moreover, as food and beverage manufacturers enter into sourcing agreements with Ivory Coast farmers, the market is expected to witness significant growth.

The potential of damaged cocoa beans in cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications is being explored by major organisations across the world. Cocoa butter and cocoa powder obtained from damaged cocoa beans possess different melting properties and can be used to make body lotions and other cosmetic products. Moreover, changes in their chemical properties can make them ideal for use in creams as a thickener or gelling agent. This can lead to a reduction in the usage of harmful substances like acrylates in cosmetics, further aiding the cocoa market expansion in Japan.

Japan is one of the world's largest markets for high-value confectionery products.Chocolateis popular among adults and children alike, which, in turn, is expected to aid the cocoa market development over the forecast period.
