North America Cocoa Market Growth

Cocoa liquor manufacturers in the United States are capitalising on the increasing demand for whiskey and Americans' habitual chocolate consumption to manufacture bittersweet chocolate whiskeys with low sugar content. Moreover, the use of rare varieties of chocolate (such as Criollo) to make chocolate liquors without emulsifiers is gaining traction, which leaves a lasting taste on the tongue. This is expected to drive the consumption of cocoa liquors among consumers.

The increasing demand for speciality and sugar-free chocolates is prompting major market players to establish large-scale chocolate manufacturing facilities, boosting the demand for cocoa. In April 2022, Barry Callebaut announced an investment of $104 billion into the development of a new chocolate manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada, with an annual production capacity exceeding 50,000 tonnes.

By gaining micro-market insights into chocolate consumption and preferences on a regional level, cocoa manufacturers can significantly enhance chocolate sales by designing customised product offerings and introducing unique tastes and toppings into their desserts.
