Top Growth Drivers in the Chocolate Confectionery Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The expansion of the chocolate market is slated to be driven forward by the surge in internet usage, especially for online purchases. The measure of internet penetration accounts for the percentage of people with internet access, gauged by the number of internet users and online transactions. As the internet supersedes traditional retail and mail-order sales, online distribution and interactive channels are on the rise. These systems have been complemented by the personalized touch facilitated by social media platforms. Higher internet usage for online transactions is crucial for boosting the online chocolate market. For instance, DataReportal, a data and information firm from Singapore, reported that as of early 2023, the internet was being used by 5.16 billion people, which is 64.4% of the global population. Furthermore, the number of internet users has been steadily rising, with the internet-connected global population growing by 100 million from 12 months leading to January 2023. Also, according to Optinmonster, an American internet, e-commerce, and web hosting firm, it is expected that by 2023, there will be 300 million online shoppers in the US alone - roughly 91% of the country's present population. Up until now, nearly 69% of Americans have made online purchases, and a quarter of them make at least one purchase each month. It's evident, then, that a rise in internet penetration for online sales is invigorating the growth of the chocolate market.
