    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.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:
    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on private Household spendings on Hot Drinks. At-home market data covers retail sales via super- and hypermarkets, eCommerce, convenience stores, and similar sales channels. Out-of-home market data includes all sales in hotels and restaurants, sales by catering companies, as well as sales in cafés, bars, and similar hospitality service establishments.
    In the out-of-home market, the price always refers to the price per kilogram of the beverage consumed, regardless of other components in the finished beverage.

    Modeling approach:
    Market sizes are determined through a Top-Down approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use resources from the Statista platform as well as in-house market research, national statistical offices, international institutions, trade associations, companies, the trade press, and the experience of our analysts. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as production data, region, and price level index. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    Forecasts:
    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the exponential trend smoothing is well suited for forecasting the Hot Drinks market with a projected steady growth.

    Additional notes:
    The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level.
