“Increasing Demand for Organic and Sustainably Sourced Cocoa Powders”
One key trend in the cocoa powder market is the increasing demand for organic and sustainably sourced cocoa powders. Consumers are becoming more conscious of the environmental and ethical implications of their food choices, driving a shift towards products that are both eco-friendly and health-conscious. For instance, brands such as OFI have responded to this trend by launching 100% segregated organic cocoa powder, which ensures traceability and sustainability in the supply chain. This product caters to the growing interest in clean-label ingredients and functional foods, as it aligns with consumer preferences for products free from artificial additives and chemicals. In addition, the rise in prebiotic cocoa powders, such as the product introduced by Lil’Goodness in India, further underscores this trend. This cocoa powder offers added health benefits, supporting digestive health while maintaining the rich flavor and antioxidant properties that cocoa is known for. The integration of sustainability and health benefits is thus propelling the cocoa powder market forward.
