Cocoa Butter Price Chart, Global Prices, Demand Outlook & Historical Data 2024

Cocoa Butter Prices Surge in 2024, With Elevated Levels Likely to Persist in 2025

Cocoa butter prices in Northwest Europe soared in the final quarter of 2024, driven by global supply shortages and strong demand from the chocolate and confectionery sectors. In October 2024, the cocoa butter price surged to USD 12,530/MT, marking a 115% increase from USD 5,820/MT in October 2023. November recorded an even steeper jump of 127%, with cocoa butter prices hitting USD 13,500/MT, up from USD 5,954/MT a year earlier. By December, prices had peaked at USD 14,300/MT, a massive 137% year-on-year increase over USD 6,044/MT in December 2023.

The sharp rise in cocoa butter price trends can be traced to poor harvests in West Africa-particularly in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana-where weather disruptions and disease outbreaks reduced cocoa bean availability. At the same time, demand from global chocolate manufacturers has remained strong, further tightening market conditions.

According to Expert Market Research, cocoa butter prices are expected to remain elevated through 2025. Although production may gradually recover, continued consumption growth and long supply cycles are likely to keep prices high. Buyers in the food, bakery, and cosmetics sectors are already adjusting sourcing strategies to cope with rising input costs.

Procurement teams should closely monitor cocoa butter price trends, as further volatility could result from currency fluctuations, shipping constraints, or changes in regulatory policies affecting cocoa exports. For now, the market shows no signs of cooling off.

As the industry moves into 2025, price-sensitive sectors will need to plan for sustained high cocoa butter prices and consider contract-based purchasing to secure supply in this highly volatile environment.

Global Cocoa Butter Trade: Leading Exporters, Importers, and Major Suppliers

With cocoa butter prices soaring throughout 2024, understanding international trade patterns is crucial for navigating supply dynamics and pricing risks. Exporting nations, key importers, and influential global suppliers all contribute to shaping current and future cocoa butter price trends.

Leading Exporting Countries

Switzerland remains a major cocoa butter exporter, supported by its large-scale chocolate manufacturing and processing infrastructure. Malaysia and Singapore also lead exports in Asia, capitalizing on proximity to cocoa-producing regions and established refining capacity. Other key exporters include Germany, Mexico, United States, India, and China, all of which serve growing markets across North America, Europe, and Asia. These exporting countries influence global supply volumes and contribute to regional cocoa butter price fluctuations depending on production cycles and shipping conditions.

Leading Importing Countries

Top importers in 2024 include Russia, the United States, and the Netherlands, where demand is driven by large-scale confectionery production. China, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and Japan also source substantial volumes to meet their industrial and retail needs. These countries are particularly sensitive to global cocoa butter prices, which have remained elevated due to limited bean supply and persistent demand from food manufacturers.

Major Global Suppliers

Several key players dominate the supply side and have a direct impact on cocoa butter price trends. These include Barry Callebaut AG (Switzerland), Cargill Incorporated (U.S.), and Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) (U.S.). Other major suppliers such as AAK (Sweden), Fuji Oil Co., Ltd. (Japan), Ecom Agro-industrial Corp. (U.S.), Louis Dreyfus Company (France), and COFCO Corporation (China) ensure supply to both bulk and specialty markets. Their pricing strategies, sourcing capabilities, and capacity utilization levels play a key role in shaping global cocoa butter prices.
