Market Definition
Compound chocolate is a product made from cocoa, vegetable fat, and sweeteners. Compound chocolate uses less expensive hard vegetable fats and palm kernel oils and is a less expensive alternative to real chocolate, which contains expensive cocoa butter. Compound chocolate is used in candy coatings. In compound coatings, replace chocolate liquor and cocoa butter with cocoa powder and vegetable oil.
Compound Chocolate Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growing awareness about benefits of compound chocolate
The compound chocolate market is rising as people become more aware of the health benefits of eating cocoa-rich foods. Cocoa aids in the reduction of hypertension, chronic fatigue syndrome, sunburn protection, and other human health benefits. Polyphenols in cocoa serve to protect the body's tissues from oxidative stress and related diseases including cancer and inflammation. These reasons are also propelling the compound chocolate industry forward.
- Growing demand for blended chocolate
The technical benefits and simple manufacturing method that does not require tempering, there is an increasing demand for blended chocolate in industrial and bakery applications, which is projected to fuel compound chocolate market expansion. Furthermore, the increased price of cocoa butter, the market's limited supply of cocoa products, and the low price of blended chocolate have increased demand in the compound chocolate market.
Opportunity
Theobromine, found in cocoa powder, aids in inflammation reduction and protects against severe diseases. Since cocoa contains a high concentration of phytonutrients while being low in fat and sugar, the calories obtained from cocoa powder are rich in beneficial compounds as they are made from agitated, dried, unroasted cacao beans, raw products are often less processed and healthier. Nonetheless, typical dark chocolate containing at least 70% cacao is a good source of antioxidants and minerals, creating a huge market opportunity.
Restraints
Volatile cocoa prices and limited cocoa production impede the market's expansion. Minerals abound in cacao products such as unsweetened cocoa powder, nibs, and dark chocolate. Raw cacao goods with minimum processing contain less or no added sugar and are higher in antioxidants than fully processed cacao goods, which is slowing market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Compound Chocolate Market
The cocoa market was hampered by low sales volumes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as supply-side difficulties such as quality and certification. The Fine Cacao & Chocolate Institute (FCCI) conducted a study on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on exports, which revealed some alarming findings. According to reports from the Dominican Republic, the government maintained a strict lockdown that barred producers and agricultural workers from travelling to the plantations for several weeks until exceptions were given by the authorities. Thus, disruption in the raw material supply chain, followed by lockdown, is resulting in an increasing number of specialty stores remaining closed for an extended period of time, and decreased volume consumption of premium chocolates.
