Analyst Opinion

Cocoa, or hot chocolate, is the smallest Hot Drinks segment by value and volume. Consumption is concentrated in established chocolate-consuming countries – mostly Western countries. Here, a general trend towards lower sugar consumption as well as a decline in child population have inhibited growth over the review period.
