Chocolate confectionery in the US is registering solid though inflation-driven value sales growth in 2025, while retail volumes have been in decline since 2022. A primary contributor to this downward trend is the sharp spike in cocoa prices that began in 2024. The rise in cocoa costs significantly increased production expenses, resulting in higher retail prices and prompting greater consumer price sensitivity, especially towards non-essential, indulgent products.
