Which Growth Factors Are Influencing Chocolate Confectionery Market Expansion?
The projected expansion of the chocolate market is set to be fueled by the growing influence of internet penetration on online sales. The term 'internet penetration rate' is defined by the proportion of individuals that have internet access, demonstrated through the quantity of internet users and online sales. The internet has superseded traditional retail and mail-order sales, facilitating online distribution and interaction channels. Furthermore, social media platforms have introduced a personalized element that was lacking in the online sphere. Therefore, an elevation in internet penetration for online sales is crucial to the expansion of the internet chocolate industry. For example, DataReportal, a Singapore-based data and information company, reported that at the start of 2023, there will be approximately 5.16 billion internet users, which is equivalent to 64.4% of the worldwide population. In addition, the number of internet users is continuously increasing, with the connected worldwide population growing by 100 million within a year up until January 2023. Moreover, Optinmonster, a U.S. internet, e-commerce, and web-hosting company, predicts that around 300 million individuals in the U.S. alone will become online shoppers by 2023, which constitutes 91% of the country's current population. As it stands, 69% of Americans have bought items online, and of these, 25% shop at least monthly. As such, the growth of the chocolate market is propelled by an increase in internet penetration for online transactions.
