Global Demand for Chocolate Plunges
Global demand for chocolate has collapsed despite lower cocoa prices, according to Azernews.
Production rates at factories worldwide are declining, signaling that the aftermath of last year's sharp price surge continues to impact processors' profits.
- Cocoa processing in Europe fell to its lowest level in at least a decade in the third quarter of 2025.
- Similar declines were observed in Asia and North America.
The demand for cocoa butter is low, and unlike last year, concerns about its supply have eased.
According to Jonathan Parkman, head of agricultural sales at Marex Group, processors have locked in elevated prices for the next six months, which means the cost of sweet treats is unlikely to drop significantly in the near future.
