Innovative Trends Shaping the Chocolate Market
Product innovation continues to be a central focus within the chocolate confectionery sector. Leading companies are actively developing new offerings to maintain competitive advantage and meet evolving consumer tastes. For example, in November 2022, Fabelle, a luxury chocolate brand owned by India's ITC Limited, introduced Fabelle Finesse, touted as the world's finest chocolate. This breakthrough was made possible by ITC's innovative Cocoa Finesser technology, which allows for chocolate production as thin as seven microns. This refinement technique reduces chocolate particle size beyond what traditional processes can achieve, setting a new standard in chocolate texture and quality.
